Happy Christmas in July! Santa’s spooky beach reads
It’s July 25th, which means…. Happy Christmas in July!
Despite Halloween being my favourite themed season, summer is my favourite overall time of year. I love sunbathing and sea swimming, which is why Christmas in July suits me much better than December 25th.
So, if you’re looking for a couple of spooky books, suitable for Summerween, check out my Christmas ghost novel, The Fairy Lights. Or, if you prefer short stories rather than novels, why not try White Witch’s Hat & other Yuletide ghost stories. Santa recommends both of these to chill you on those long, hot, summer horrordays…

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.
