An old house. A new start. Ancient secrets. When Gina stumbles across the remote, dilapidated mansion she’s convinced it will make the perfect home for when she and her fiancé Paul settle down together. At first he supports the venture, but his frequent absences are a cause for concern, especially when the renovations reveal skeletons from the past. Is local man Steve a prospective business partner or looking for something more? Why are the normally reticent villagers prepared to accept her as one of their own? As more uncanny coincidences link Gina to the gruesome history of the house, she must decide where her future lies, and if she is prepared to pay the final price.

Val Portelli

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Val became an author around the age of nine when she received her first rejection letter from a well-known women’s magazine. Undeterred, she carried on writing for friends and family until a freak accident left her house-bound and going stir-crazy. To save her sanity she put fingers to laptop resulting in her first novel being traditionally published in 2013. A second book through different publishers increased her knowledge of how things work and she turned Indie, migrating from her original pen name of ‘Voinks’ along the way.

She writes in various genres, although the weekly short stories published on her Facebook author page often include her trademark twist of ‘Quirky.’

Reviews for her books are always appreciated, as they help buy food for the Unicorns she breeds in her spare time.

    An easy to read story that gallops along, taking you with it. Gina buys a dilapidated old house to live in happily-ever-after with her future husband. But unexpected discoveries, some shocking, some fortunate, dramatically alter the trajectory of her life, both romantically and professionally. I would have liked a little more explanation or investigation of some of the discoveries, and the village with its supply of everything including ever-willing builders, plumbers and electricians and gastro pub seems a bit too convenient. But an interesting story that keeps you turning the pages!
