The Curse
of Ragman’s Hollow
Just a walk in the countryside. What could possibly go wrong
Sam
Jones's grandmother is training him to be one of the Cunning Folk, like her,
and exams are looming.
But Sam's mother has holiday plans and drags him off to a remote cottage in the middle of nowhere for some country air. No mobile phone, nettle soup and long walks are the rule. One such walk takes them to Ragman's Hollow, a place the locals avoid with good reason.
It's a place where people and animals go missing, never to be found.
That's just superstitious nonsense, according to Sam's mother. But there is no smoke without fire and Sam soon finds himself up against an old, very spiteful, and very tricky enemy.
He's going to need every ounce of his cunning to stop the Ragman. But can he do it alone?
And here he is...
Rhys A Jones was born in 1955 and grew up in a mining village in South Wales with his nose in a book and his head in the clouds. He managed to subdue his imagination long enough to carve out a career in medicine, writing whenever the chance arose.
The
Merryweathers mysteries feature a boy and his more-than-meets-the-eye
Granny Merryweather. The Curse of
Wihtlea Barrows (previously the Dreables) and The Curse of Borage Doone have just been released as
paperbacks with new covers and a new publisher (Wyrmwood). The third in the
series entitled The Curse of Ragman's Hollow is now available at last
Rhys
is currently writing The Artefact Quintet
featuring eleven-year-old Oz Chambers whose family inherits a ‘haunted’ house.
His mother wants to leave, but Oz wants to unlock the house’s mysteries and
uncovers a secret that will change his life forever.
Rhys
also writes for adults as DC Farmer and Dylan Young
He
has three grownup children who have emerged remarkably unscathed into
adulthood. When not writing, he practices medicine and lives in darkest West
Wales with his understanding (very) wife and dog.
Oh,
and the Rhys is pronounced Reece–as in the actor Rhys Ifans of Mr Lovegood
(Harry Potter) and The Lizard (The Amazing Spiderman) fame. Or perhaps it’s
easier if you just think of Reece Witherspoon, though she is a lady.
