Twixmas at the Castle
The Oxford Set United States Senator for Peach County Chuck Jackson never expected his daughter to marry into the English aristocracy, although he did plan to marry her off to Prince William as a backup, but that’s exactly what happened when Thelma Jackson went to Oxford to study politics and came across Harold Perceville, sonContinue reading “Twixmas at the Castle”
The Family Next Door
The Oxford Set It was a rainy, overcast December day in the trendy London borough of Splitafields, and Evelyn Ashbrook quietly sat at her desk in her candlelit study, working on her latest children’s book illustration. As she painted the walls of the brightly coloured house in her drawing, she heard sounds coming from theContinue reading “The Family Next Door”
A Night at the Inn
The Oxford Set “You know, there are two Buttermere hotels to choose from in Sodom.” Scarlett Jones said, looking at the alarmingly dilapidated hostelry in front of her. “We could have booked a room using my staff discount.” ”We could have done, but this has more character, don’t you think?” Michael, her father-in-law, said. TheContinue reading “A Night at the Inn”
Spectres on the Downs
The Oxford Set “Some trip to the beach this turned out to be,” Scarlett Jones thought to herself as she surveyed the Bristol Channel from the top of Brean Down, the hood of her anorak trying as best it could to shield her from the deluge above.

The Centurion on the Bridge
The Oxford Set It was a sunny, late August day in the quaint Wiltshire village of Brambleton, and St Joseph the Immaculate, the local church, was packed.

The Christmas Planchette Seance
“I can’t believe we’re doing this.” Dave Peterson said as his family sat around the Ouija Board in the candlelit living room of their manor. “Simon’s going to kill us.” “If the vicar bothers us, leave him to me.” Terome said. “Ok,” Dave said, dreading to think what Terome would do if left with theContinue reading “The Christmas Planchette Seance”
The Duke’s Spectral Predicament
It was a pleasant Autumnal morning, and Sir Hugo Townsend, the 9th Duke of Knightlow, was miserable. Sir Hugo was miserable most of the time, to the point that it was something of a personality trait, but he was particularly miserable today. Miserable because he’d recently turned 82 and therefore was getting old, miserable becauseContinue reading “The Duke’s Spectral Predicament”
Sir Hugo Townsend and the Invisible Ghost
Sir Hugo Townsend, the 9th Duke of Knightlow, was grumpy almost 100% of the time these days, ever since his wife died of cancer and his children went to university and got lives of their own.
