About the Author
Joseph Delaney is a retired English teacher living in Lancashire. He has three children and seven grandchildren and is a wonderful public speaker available for conference, library and bookshop events. His home is in the middle of Boggart territory and his village has a boggart called the Hall Knocker, which was laid to rest under the step of a house near the church. Most of the places in the Spooks books are based on real places in Lancashire. And the inspiration behind the stories often comes from local ghost stories and legends. The Spooks Apprentice, The Spooks Curse and The Spooks Secret have all been shortlisted for the Lancashire childrens Book for the Year Award. The Spooks Apprentice is the winner of both the Sefton Book Award and the Hampshire Book Award.
