ROSIE TALBOT
A lover of the strange, the magical, and the downright spooky, Rosie (she/her) writes contemporary fantasy and horror books for Young Adults and Adult readers. Like her, all of her stories are very queer. Rosie is a graduate of Curtis Brown Creative and Write Mentor. By day she works as a bookseller. By night, she spends time sewing big skirts with outrageously large pockets and wondering why her family has a suspiciously large collection of cauldrons. She currently resides in a mysterious pocket of the Sussex countryside with a very patient spouse and two cats called Tinkerfluff and Captain Haddock.
Rosie's first novel in the series is Sixteen Souls - In York the hunted are being haunted...
When sixteen-year-old seer Charlie Frith realizes dark forces have taken one of his ghostly friends, he must put aside his reclusive existence to protect them from a fate worse than death. He teams up with Sam Harrow - the new seer in town - and a rag tag group of spirits to unearth the chilling purpose behind the disappearances.As Charlie's romantic feelings develop for Sam, he will have to risk his life and his heart if he is going to save the afterlife.
MARK WELLS
Mark Wells read law at Cambridge University and after a career in business returned to his old college as a Fellow, before taking up writing full-time. He has published short stories in the Warhammer universe for Black Library under the pen name Nicholas Alexander. He is currently writing the urban fantasy series, Cambridge Gothic, which follows the lives of two newly arrived Freshers who encounter not just secretive professors, but a deadly threat from beyond…
Mark lives in Cambridge with his family, and when not writing, can be found wandering through the city’s alleyways and colleges, plotting…
Mark's first novel in his series is College of Shadows - Cambridge attracts the brightest minds, the darkest forces, and the deadliest monsters. New arrivals, Nick and Annabel, feel like imposters among the gleaming spires of Cambridge University. Unsure of each other and desperate to fit in, they throw themselves into student life. But when their professor is attacked by a mysterious creature straight out of their worst nightmares, their assignments become less pass-fail than do-or-die. As the bodies pile up, the Freshers enlist the help of Giles, a dare-devil scholar who climbs the college’s ivory towers for fun. And as the shadows close in, these unlikely allies set out to banish the beast before their first foray into this mystical world becomes their last… College of Shadows is the page-turning first novel in the bestselling fantasy series, Cambridge Gothic. If you like ancient buildings, fast-paced adventure, and a gripping plot, then you’ll love Mark Wells’s atmospheric mystery.
