She Walks With Ghosts

Her name is Alison Tuesday; she's a burgeoning psychic, history buff, and unlocks doors with bricks. Patrick Peters has never met anyone like her. He's not even sure she's real. Patrick Peters flunked the HSC. His mental health has spiralled after his dad's sudden death. He avoids life at home always tiptoeing around his grieving mother. He is desperate for an escape. Alison Tuesday is a girl out of time she's read all the English classics. She always seems to know what you're thinking. She has more secrets than answers. After a seance goes awry, and an attempted abduction from the heart of Redfern, Patrick is thrown headfirst into the paranormal world of Alison Tuesday. Alison needs Patrick to help her find four ancient tomes that will lead them to the place beyond death the Hereafter. Patrick, desperate to speak to his dad one last time, is willing to battle phantoms, grand warlocks, and a ruthless cult leader across the historic mansions, crumbling towers and forgotten places of Sydney where ghosts walk. But as Patrick delves further and further into the world of Alison Tuesday, reality becomes murkier as the veil between life and death thins and Patrick clings to his own doubts about the truth of it all. But without his help, Alison may not make it to The Gateway of Eternity alive ... and back. For the outcasts, the dreamers, and for those who have always suspected there was more to life, beyond the ordinary AUTHOR: Garth Thomas spent 35 years at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation working in news and current affairs (winning several awards including an Ellie Award), but now in retirement wants to tell his own stories. He resides in Carlingford, New South Wales, with no dogs, no cats, no goldfish, but two wonderful daughters who have come to appreciate spooky old movies starring Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi much in the same spirit (pun intended) as The World of Alison Tuesday.
