About this item

Running away isn't always an escape...After a traumatic experience with her graduate school professor, Anne Fleming disposes of all her possessions, boards a plane, and plans to check out of life. But a chance meeting on an international flight leads her to Wildfell, a gothic mansion north of London. At first glance, Wildfell seems like the perfect place to hide out, and Anne is intrigued by its strange atmosphere and history of disappearances and deaths. But echoing voices, ghostly mists, a mute girl with a sketchbook full of murders, and a possessive landlady force her to confront her deepest fears. Anne's budding romance with gorgeous Irish actor Bain Tierney holds her to the house. But when Wildfell tenants begin disappearing and dying, Anne must decide if she trusts Bain.

In fact, London considers herself a recovering runaway and also tried living life down under. She graduated from George Mason University with a B.A. in Music and M.F.A in Creative Writing. She's had an eclectic array of jobs including receptionist, legal secretary, literary assistant, high school English teacher, and freelance editor.London lives in a Washington, DC suburb with her husband and two greyhounds. She's happiest when she's writing novels, reading books, or binge watching her favorite programs like The Vampire Diaries or Being Human over and over again.
