Come with me

Very soon, I will share with you an extract from my gothic novel Catalina, set in Ireland, London and Romania.


CATALINA 

a modern Gothic novel

When Caitlyn, fresh from Art School in Ireland, cannot find work in London, she accepts an offer of employment  to catalogue ikons in Romania. It is shortly after the downfall of Communism, and she finds herself isolated in a bleak castle in the Carpathians, her only friend a priest. Her employer, Vladislav, a highly cultured and wealthy art dealer, intimidates her, yet exerts a mysterious fascination. A young diplomat, with whom Caitlyn - now called Catalina - has fallen in love, arrives, and Catalina attempts to leave with him, but Vladislav thwarts her. Suspecting that two girls,who came to the castle, never left it, Caitlyn determines to escape while Vladislav is away, unwisely accepting the help of the creepy housekeeper, Doamna Gheata.  Alas, Catalina is trapped . . .
