The purpose of the tours: Leanna has celebrated the release weeks of her Strangely Beautiful novels with a Haunted London Blog Tour! Her Tours introduce readers to the real, documented London haunts who “ghost-star” in the book.
Leanna says: "I’ve had a life-long love for the 19th century, England and ghosts. When I first set foot in London, history swept over me like a strong wind. Secondly, I felt the city was alive not only with the pulsing energy of the living, but the restless energy of the dead. When The Guard of spectral police make their rounds, it is to any number of familiar London phantasms. Since these characters are familiar routines to The Guard, I don’t get the opportunity to tell their complete story. But these tales are too good not to tell in their full, spooky splendor… Special thanks to Haunted Britain ghost expert Richard Jones, whose books and tours are my foremost resource.
