‎On Hold

Anne-Louise Quinton

Some people die and that's the end. Others get placed ‘on hold' because they are still connected ‎to someone or something in the present. Only when they have passed on their knowledge, can ‎they rest. Three separate, but strikingly similar incidents occur within days of each other, to ‎normal people, living ordinary lives. Elinor, Ed and Harry each receive a short, barely audible ‎phone call from people they are very fond of. They are told they must solve an urgent problem.‎
Their calls are no coincidence and serve to connect the group and send them on a supernatural ‎adventure. As they explore the mystery, they discover a post-retirement life they never expected. ‎The group must use their skills and knowledge to work out what has been going on and what ‎needs to be done to complete their mission. Set in no-nonsense Yorkshire, with humour to match, ‎they uncover a set of questions they did not search for, but are compelled to answer. As much as ‎the group have embraced modern technology and the digital world, they realise they must use ‎their analogue pasts too. Will they make it in time? The question is, would you hang up on a ‎ghost?‎

ABOUT ANNE-LOUISE QUINTON


Anne-Louise Quinton lives and works in Leeds and Yorkshire. Following an accomplished career ‎in art and design education, a persistent idea for a great story led her to write her debut novel On ‎Hold while her life was very much on hold with a broken leg. Used to inspiring and entertaining her ‎students with tall tales, now she keeps readers rapt with the same energy and experience. Drawing ‎on a lifelong love of classic ghost stories and a strong belief in practical skills and creative thinking, ‎her writing captures both the wit and wickedness of the north in equal measure.‎
