I will be joining Rosemary and Adam for a discussion on 'Writing Ghost Stories Today'.
The event takes place in the atmospheric Gothic country house, which houses over 150,000 volumes and offers several quiet reading rooms as well as elegant landscaped grounds.
Hawarden was recommended warmly to me by the historical novelist Peter Vansittart, who would stay there at least annually while writing his books, and appreciated the combination of private study time and collegiate dining and discussion. I was therefore delighted to be invited to take part in this Jamesian weekend.
