Ellen Potter is very much looking forward to her new life as head of English at St. Barnabas, an all-girls boarding school on the isolated Northumberland Coast. But when she stumbles upon the diary of a Victorian maid who lived and worked at the former Alderley Manor, a sinister tale of life at the once-stately home unfolds. As Ellen finds herself drawn deeper into the young maid's story, so strange things begin to happen at the school, things reminiscent of Ellen's previous encounter with the unknown. When one of her pupils confesses to witnessing terrifying events, Ellen is convinced that the schoolhouse is indeed haunted. Worse yet, she comes to fear the child is in danger from malevolent spirits intent on doing her harm. Should Ellen pursue her quest of seeking justice for the long-dead servant? Or does she risk stirring up echoes of things best left buried? Could awakening the dormant horrors within Alderley Manor bring grave danger to both Ellen and her pupil?

He believes his dedication to the investigation of the paranormal has given him the edge when researching for and writing his books, some elements of which are based on true events. He describes his ghostly tales as 'frighteningly realistic.' Says the author, 'I write the kind of books that I would love to read and that are sadly in short supply.' Jack would list the main sources of inspiration for his supernatural tales of mystery to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Susan Hill, James Herbert and F.G. Cottam, citing the late James Herbert as 'The 007 of horror writers. The man with a license to chill.'He is currently working on a series of books around his central character, Ellen Potter, Psychic Detective. Based in the 1930's, Ellen finds herself thrown into a dark world of paranormal mystery and hauntings from a past that refuses to stay buried. Following a strange encounter with a spirit or spirits in an isolated railway station and set against the wild and dangerous North Yorkshire Moors, Ellen Potter Mysteries Book One was released in December 2019, with its sequel, Hush Now Child, published shortly thereafter. Both books are now available in hardback. Jack was born in Yorkshire but has travelled extensively. He lived for many years in Scotland, which he refers to fondly as his spiritual home. Jack now lives in a cottage on the edge of the Peak District in England, an area steeped in history and tales of hauntings. He has two very mischievous tomcats, brothers Arthur and Merlin.
