Allan Graham - www.allangrahambooks.comThe first boy, from generations of miners, not to be sent down the coal mines, Allan Graham was lucky enough to win a place at Grammar School where he enjoyed mediocre success at school, preferring rugby and larking about to serious study, but he always had a love of books from a very early age.After 38 tedious years working in I.T. (a career he loathed but it paid the bills) Allan turned to writing. In 2012 he published a play about mediumship called "Spirit". He followed this up by starting the TOM O'KELL series of novels, dark tales of magic, mystery and horror, for young adults, publishing "Tom O'Kell & The Shaman's Drum" in 2013. In January 2014, Allan published "Tom O'Kell & The Brotherhood Of The Jackal". He is currently working on the third Tom O'Kell novel, Tom O'Kell & The Papanuk and hopes to have it complete sometime in 2015.Allan has been influenced by the novels of James Herbert, Dean Koontz , Dennis Wheatley, Arthur Conan Doyle, Rider Haggard to name but a few.TOM O'KELL SERIESThe stories are set in the Summer holidays of 1984, just before children's imaginations were stolen by mobile phones and the internet. 10 year old, Tom O'Kell is a special soul who, unknowingly, stands between the Devil and His quest for Eternal Infinity.
