The Devil's Footprints

Since this is another slow news week (I'm still hard at work on The Devil's Footprints), I thought I'd give you some details on the inspiration for the book. The legend goes something like this:

The mysterious footprints, which appeared overnight in heavy snowfall in Southern Devon in 1855, have never been adequately explained. According to contemporary reports, they stretched for over a hundred miles, and went through solid walls and haystacks, appearing on the other side as though there was no barrier. The extent of the footprints may have been exaggerated at the time, and they may have been the result of freak atmospheric conditions. But in truth the footprints - if that is what they were - still remain a complete mystery. (source)
