Lucy Griffiths
From her 170(ish)-year-old former miner’s home, Lucy loves listening for the stories that are whispered around her. She’s convinced that her house should be haunted, but no ghosts have appeared… so far. Living in Somerset with her husband, two sons and an ancient cat, Lucy loves finding quiet, tucked-away places to write. Being beside the sea brings her great joy and she escapes to the coast with her family whenever possible. Having spent over 20 years teaching Drama, she now works one-to-one with SEN students. She has just completed the MA in Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University.
Iris and the Invisibles
Upper MG Supernatural adventure
When Iris and her dad move to Batchley to make a fresh start after she’s had a bad time at school, everything changes. Iris discovers that she can see the dead. Always having invisible friends more than real friends, Iris discovers that they are actually ghosts. Her new-found ghost friend, Albie, and elderly neighbour, Betty, give her a mission to discover the truth about Albie’s death. Iris is just beginning to feel she belongs somewhere when she encounters Aterquar, an ancient force lurking below Batchley. It threatens not only to bleed its darkness into the world around her, but also the very lives of Iris and her family.
