Empty or abandoned? A dream incarnate or a nightmare in stone? For a young lottery winner with Tourette's, Wildspur Manor is a fantasy fulfilled when he moves in and begins planning renovation work. Unfortunately he doesn't seem to be alone, a problem he decides to meet head on with the aid of technology and alcohol. Obsession soon takes a bear hold, not only regarding the house but also a young woman from its past whose life was tragically short. This will lead him down a dangerous path, and ultimately to a possibilty so fantastical that he is sure he must be dreaming... This mystery/fantasy is ultimately a tale of obsession with the past and of one man's desire to experience a time forgotten. With romantic and supernatural overtones, complete at 166, 000 words and lightly laced with humour, it should appeal to most audiences.
