When I was a child I began to write stories for myself as I couldn't find the stories I enjoyed so I started writing the stories I wanted to read! I love the Victorian ages and the idea of a family going missing one night seemed an exciting basis of a story within an old gothic mansion on a windswept cliff, and the idea that a clock strikes 13 times, but no one knows why sent chills down my spine. But the name Alcott Hall was inspired by the author who wrote, Little Women. Her name was Louisa May Alcott.
