For those who like a bit extra...
I imagine Cockleshore Castle to be like Tantallon Castle, a ruined mid- 14th century fortress, not far from North Berwick in East Lothian Scotland. A visit there inspired me to write about Septimus and his friends.
William has a picture of Sherlock Holmes on his attic wall, and he would like to solve crimes and mysteries just like him! The stories are told from William’s point of view. Some of the characters you will meet around the villages were inspired by people I have met!
