This time last week, the first novel in my “Wellington Undead” series (The Beast of Mysore) was published. Sales are steady and sufficiently encouraging for me to have already begun writing the second book, which goes under the working title “The Hordes of Assaye.”

Three years will have passed off-page between books, and Arthur Wellesley has now obtained the rank of general. Based out of Seringapat

Quotes by Richard Estep (?)

“Psychologically speaking, they took comfort when their monsters actually looked monstrous.”
― Richard Estep, Dark Spirits: Monsters, Demons and Devils

0 likes

“As a quick aside, phantoms of the living are not unheard of. There are plenty of documented cases in the paranormal case literature that detail apparitions of people who are not actually dead. But they rarely appear within sight of the physical person themselves, and certainly not at the same time.”
― Richard Estep, In Search of the Paranormal: The Hammer House Murder, Ghosts of the Clink, and Other Disturbing Investigations

“Get knocked down. Pick yourself up. Dust yourself off. Get on with the job.”
