    About this ebook

    At twenty-nine, Mark is lonely and unhappy. With his teaching degree, he never expected to be scraping by at a dead-end job in a bookstore. So when he’s given the opportunity to do the work he’s always dreamed of, he jumps on it.

    But there’s a catch. Mark has just agreed to spend the summer teaching a recalcitrant student at a lonely manor outside the most haunted village in the UK. It doesn’t take Mark long to figure out there’s something strange, really strange, about Thomas, his host and the father of his pupil. They say the village changes people, and it turns out Thomas is living proof. Now Mark has to decide if he should run like hell or stay and become part of the family.

    A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2016 Daily Dose package "A Walk on the Wild Side."

      ‘Putting Down Roots’ had me charmed from the beginning. The title alone is intriguing, the characters are interesting, and while I guessed what was going to happen pretty early on, the lyrical writing and beautiful descriptions kept me interested until the very end. I have a feeling the author wanted this to be slightly creepy, but I just couldn’t see that. Yes, these are unusual shifters, but the dangers they face are unique and the way they live their lives is so different from what I am used to from other shifter stories, that about the only thing I wished for was for this story to be longer. Don’t get me wrong, it is perfect the way it is, but sometimes when something great comes along, I can’t but help to want more f it. I guess I am greedy.

      If you’re looking for an unusual paranormal read with a touch of mystery and a great ending, then I can recommend this short story. It’s very memorable.
