UPDATE from Leanna (10/09):  "Thanks to everyone who made the Strangely Beautiful Haunted London Blog tour in August and September such a success!"

If you'd like to learn more about the ghosts featured, the posts are archived below in the order of their appearance. (The giveaways associated with the posts are closed).

The purpose of the tour:  Leanna celebrated the release month of The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker with a Haunted London Blog Tour!  This Tour introduced readers to some of the real, documented London haunts who “ghost-star” in the book. 

From the author:  "I’ve had a life-long love for the 19^th century, England and ghosts.  When I first set foot in London, I felt history sweep over me like a strong wind.  Secondly, I felt sure the city was alive not only with the pulsing energy of the living, but the restless energy of the dead. When the character of Professor Alexi Rychman and his Guard of spectral police make their rounds, it is to any number of familiar London phantasms.  Since these characters are familiar 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 London ghost expert Richard Jones, whose books and tours are such wonderful resources)."
