Houses live longer than people.

Have you ever visited a grand historic house and wondered about the people who lived there?

Imagined what you life might have been had you lived there a century ago?

Alexandria Blaelock has, and The Histories of Hayward Hall (BlueMere Books, 2021), hints at the different kinds of people you might see.

“What would a haunted house that isn’t haunted look like? Is there a line between time travelers and ghosts?

“What if ghosts were time travelers,” Alexandria Blaelock mused, “what would their perspective be? And would anyone help them say put? In these stories, I tried to imagine the future lives historic houses might lead.”

So relax, take a seat and think about physics and astronavigation as we delve into the metaphysical nature.

Meet Morag Clementine. The new housekeeper at historic Hayward Hall.

Her practical and capable attitude usually keeps her out of trouble. Above all, her no-nonsense, get it done approach. And her get in the middle of the scrum outlook. Just as well, because Hayward Hall needs someone like her.

In this genre-spanning collection of original stories, Morag finds herself ensnared in the History of Hayward Hall…

• The Space-Time Paradox – in which we meet our plucky heroine on her first day at work.
• Love in the Past Tense – she crash lands in 1905.
• The Mystery of the Master Suite – she disappears in mysterious circumstances.
• The  Ghost Detectors – she’s visited by a paranormal investigator in an alternate dimension.
• Special Relativity in Space – she returns to her own time.

No ordinary housekeeper, can Morag save the house, one century at a time?
