About Lynne Connolly
I was born in Leicester, England, and lived in
our cobbler’s shop with my parents and sister. It was an old house
and most definitely haunted, but I didn’t find out until I left
that my great uncle had hung himself in the living room! But I
think our ghost might have been older than that. It was built
on the site of the old Roman cemetery, and the land had been constantly
inhabited, being in the centre of town. Then,
when the council bought the house from us to build a road, my
grandfather retired and my father went and worked for the Post
Office. My mother was a sample machinist; that is, she worked
with designers on the prototypes (models or samples) of garments.
So I was very well dressed! We bought a relatively modern house
in the country, and my mother was blissfully happy. It’s all very
well living in a large old house, but it’s a dreadful task to
keep it clean and warm!
My mother's side of the family
are Romany gypsies, although sadly we haven't any of the old trailers
that are so astonishingly beautiful. I was taught to read the
Tarot cards, and I usually use two packs; the Rider pack for simple
readings and the Crowley Thoth pack for the complex stuff.
I've always had an interest in the paranormal and it's been a
delight to be able to put some of this into my novels. |
