Grisham House Part 1

Today is the part 1 of my new serial Grisham House. There are 12 parts so there will be an episode every day up until Christmas Eve. Grisham House is a Bronte-inspired story. I read all the Bronte books as a young teen. Wuthering Heights holds a special place in my heart, but I wanted to try and include elements from each of the sisters for my story. I used a number of themes, the weather and atmosphere from Wuthering Heights along with the unrequited love as well as the spiritual and supernatural themes from Jane Eyre. The orphan theme is also included in my story Grisham House. I wanted to create a strong female character that overcomes judgement and hardship. I hope I have done them justice in my story Grisham House. Below is the blurb and part 1 of the story.

Stolen Identity Part 8

Day 8 and time to find out what Dr Darcy and Nurse Annie have planned for poor Emily. What will the treatment involve? I must say, researching this part of the story was fascinating and the treatments they carried out in asylums in the 1890s were quite severe.
