A Ghost Story: John Prideaux of Stowford (1505-1568)

John Prideaux (1505-1568) lived in Stowford and had a wife and two children. He had lots of friends and great connections and lived in one of the largest houses in Stowford. One evening in 1547, he and his family and friends were at their usual Tuesday night dinner. They took weekly turns as to which house the dinner and entertainment were held. This night was the turn of the Prideaux family at Stowford Manor. They ate their meal and as they settled down, John told the gathering a ghost story. He told them of a stranger he once befriended and the mysterious path the meeting led him along. Present at the dinner were Parson William Hele, Robert and Sybil Fox, Thomas and Joan Rogers and John and Ann Prideaux. Before the evening ended, the friends are on a mysterious quest of their own, leading to a remarkable conclusion at St Petrocs church on snowy Dartmoor.

About the Author
A A Prideaux has Cornish beginnings and currently lives in North Wales following several adventures and moves around the British Isles. Although writing fills up her days, she still spends as much time as possible roaming Cornwall and researching the family history. A A Prideaux has traced her line back almost 1000 years to Paganus Prideaux. She rides and trains her horses to have a cushy life and ensures her dogs are able to sleep on the sofa watching television as much as possible. Shudder was published in 2013 and the small market town of Bramley, Leeds was used as the stage setting for the unusual story. This was Bramley as it was prior to the redevelopment which occurred during the 60s and 70s. The story came to A A Prideaux in a dream. She felt that she should write it down so that she would be able to close the book and keep it in the freezer if necessary. Why? To keep Shudder away... The Specials is a murder mystery and is the first book about the detectives featured in the story. A A Prideaux intends to bring the murder team back to solve further mysteries. The Bishop and the Witch is about an ancestor of AA Prideaux, and the fictionalized version of a witch trial he was involved in. A A Prideaux is fanatical, almost obsessive about her history and already shares freely much of the information she has discovered about the Prideaux line on her website, www.aaprideaux.com. Bishop John Prideaux is the star of this full length novel, but other members of her ancestors are having part of their lives told in the short story series about the family currently being published. A Ghost Story is the first in this series. It may seem odd to begin with the 1505 ancestor, but the release date was Halloween and his story fit. There will be 30 odd short stories ultimately, ranging from 1040 to the present day. A Christmas Story is features another ancestor. The Nirvana series are self help books instructing in the use of the power of imagination in successfully creating your world.
