Queenie Malone's Paradise HotelTilly was a bright, outgoing little girl who liked playing with ghosts and matches. She loved fizzy drinks, swear words, fish fingers and Catholic churches, but most of all she loved living in Brighton in Queenie Malone's magnificent Paradise Hotel with its endearing and loving family of misfits. About the Author :My new novel - THE LIGHT A CANDLE SOCIETY - is out in NOW!

It's about a man called George McGlory - recent widower, part-time librarian, pub quiz enthusiast and lover of loud shirts - who witnesses a public health funeral and is deeply moved by the sight of the lonely coffin with no flowers and no mourners in attendance. George believes that everyone deserves a decent send-off and decides to do something about what he calls these 'lonely funerals' - and so THE LIGHT A CANDLE SOCIETY is formed. The book contains a number of short stories which give a glimpse into the lives of those whom George and his friends take it upon themselves to honour and remember in their own unique way.

Despite it being a story about funerals, it's full of life, love, humour, community and human connections. And, of course, there is a very special dog!
