Paula R.C. Readman

Paula lives in an English village in Essex, England. So far there hasn’t been any murders or zombies disturbing the peace of her village, so she has to make up stories. Her writing career started in 2010 with the publication of her first ghost story by English Heritage. She has won two writing competitions and has had a crime novella ‘The Funeral Birds’ accepted for publication by Demain Publishing. She’s busy editing a collection of short stories which is due to be published later in 2020.
