Spooky Spooky Teenage Years
Hello, my name is Neil Smith. Welcome to the first post on my spooky spooky blog about how I came to write my real life ghost story, an unexpected spooky spooky book adventure.
As a sensitive teenager my family moved to a spooky government housing estate. Row upon row of little boxes they called homes.
For acres there was not a tree to be seen, the entire natural landscape had been bulldozed to the ground.
We had neighbours into drugs and alcohol and, I suspected, a lot of domestic violence. The houses were mostly disappearing under an uncontrolled growth of weeds and the streets around me were always littered with empty cans and assorted rubbish.
I felt sorry for the children and I accumulated a vast collection of children's records (as they were back then) which I would use to entertain them on occasions.
Not surprising I've grown up with a passion for taking care of the natural environment, a concern for the care of children, a distaste for drugs and alcohol and a strong rejection of domestic violence.
Perhaps it's not so spooky that I turned to writing which is one activity you can enjoy indoors alone.
Best wishes
Neil
