He started writing stories about 15 years ago, tending to favour dark fiction and horror. He also drifts to a few wry and slightly twisted children's stories. Several of his short stories have been published in magazines, and he hopes to find a wider audience - Or at least one that is more receptive than his cats.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Contact Information:&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong><a href=\"mailto:iaintravers@gmail.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">iaintravers@gmail.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>Submissions</p><p>If you have an original story that would send a chill down our spines, send it to hauntedukfiction@hotmail.com</p><p><br></p><p>Until next time… stay safe and take care.</p><p><br></p><p>Episode Credits</p><p>Story by:&nbsp;Iain Travers&nbsp;</p><p>Narrated by:&nbsp;Steven Holloway</p><p>Script prepared by:&nbsp;Melissa West</p><p>Produced by:&nbsp;Pink Flamingo Home Studio</p>","author_name":"Steven Holloway & Melissa West"}
