Known for her children’s novels under the name of Margaret Hefferman, “Maighread” has a new and exciting Adult Fiction novel to share. “Stone Cottage”, is already available on Kinder, and will be available in paper back on September 8 2015… Please see Maighread’s description below… :) 

It is paranormal fiction and deals with life, death, reincarnation, past life regression and second chances. Here is a short synopsis:

Victoria Anne McBride is dead, mourned and buried. Unfortunately, she doesn’t see it that way and refuses to move on. There’s something she needs to tell her husband, Will. Until she does, she will wait for his return to their home, Stone Cottage. For as long as it takes, she will wait…wait…wait.

Rebecca Wainwright is a 21st century woman. Determined, her world is perfect and in control. Just the way she likes it. Tragedy strikes and she descends into chaos. Trying to heal, she searches for a sanctuary…a place of her own, away from the burdensome concern of her family and best friend. A place where she can lick her wounds without anyone watching. She stumbles across a lovely stone home located off the beaten path and feels completely at home, as if she’d been there before. Why is she so drawn to this place? How can it help her to heal?

Perhaps, Victoria Anne can help.
