A Roof Over Their Heads
by Lisamarie Lamb
Price: $1.99 USD. 34230 words.
Published on August 23, 2012. Fiction.
The Isle of Sheppey, nestled in a far corner of north Kent, hides myriad secrets and many stories within its buildings. Some are as old as the first Dutch settlers, the brave men and women who arrived on the island in the sixteenth century. Some reach back into war time, when each air raid siren and each drawing of the blackout curtains could have been the last. And some are more recent.

Biography
I'm a writer... At least, I write...
I was five when I wrote my first short story - it involved a car going over a cliff, Jessica Fletcher and the Phantom Raspberry Blower. It didn't have much of a plot (he did it, she solved it) but it did have rather colourful (crayon) illustrations and it did make me realise that writing was for me.
At 12 I wrote my first novel during the school summer holidays. Loosely based on the Famous Five, with a bit of James Bond thrown in, it was an adventure story and my teacher made me read some of it out in class. And that's when I realised that I wanted people to hear my stories and read my work.
Over the intervening years, I have written various short stories, plays, poems and novels in different genres, including romance and children’s books. But it turns out that horror, the macabre, the slightly off, is my true love.

Smashwords book reviews by Lisamarie Lamb
- Lissie
on April 04, 2011
I like vampires. I enjoy stories about creepy (murderous...) children. So 'Lissie' was pretty much right up my street. I enjoyed the (I'll try not to post spoilers!) sudden deaths of characters which I had thought were going to stick around, and I can see a lot more fun can be had with little Lissie!
