Tonight I will be live on BBC Radio Ulster show ‘The Ticket’ hosted by Kathy Clugston from 6-7PM, UK time, for NI Book Week to discuss my writing, so if you’re having a night in tonight, feel free to tune in.

I’ll be reading an excerpt from Matthew’s Twin, book 3 of my Belfast Ghosts series, which also happens to be my personal favourite of the trilogy.

Today is also the start of my Halloween break from work, and like all horror authors, Samhain is my favourite festive holiday, so talking about my ghost horror books is a great way to get me in the spirit (er, cheesy pun intended) of the spooky season.
Leilanie Stewart is an award-winning author and poet from Belfast, Northern Ireland. She writes ghost and psychological horror, as well as experimental poetry. Her writing confronts the nature of self; her novels feature main characters on a dark psychological journey who have a crisis and create a new sense of identity. She began writing for publication while working as an English teacher in Japan, a career pathway that has influenced themes in her writing. Her former career as an Archaeologist has also inspired her writing and she has incorporated elements of archaeology and mythology into both her fiction and poetry.
In addition to promoting her own work, Leilanie runs Bindweed Anthologies, a creative writing publication with her writer husband, Joseph Robert. Aside from publishing pursuits, Leilanie enjoys spending time with her husband and their lively literary lad, a voracious reader of sea monster books.
