Sharon Gosling — Cumbria, England

Sharon Gosling always wanted to be a writer. She started as an entertainment journalist, writing about television series such as Stargate and Battlestar Galactica. Her first novel was published under a pen name in 2010. Sharon and her husband live in a very small cottage in a very remote village in the north of England, surrounded by sheep-dotted fells. The village has its own vampire, although Sharon hasn’t met it yet. The cat might have, but he seems to have been sworn to secrecy and won’t say a thing.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jon Chant is a London based writer who also works as a tour guide at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. Jon has an uncanny feel for all things 17th Century and he has walked every inch of the backstreets and alleyways he describes in Great Fire.

SUMMARY The streets are paved with magic Esteban Fawkes is a young sorcerer specialising in time magic, known as Chronomancy. Danny is a Conjurer who can summon supernatural beings, or banish the Things That Should Not Be Here™ Esteban is in trouble again. When he and Danny go mountain biking in Lancashire, they are imprisoned by the ghost of Jennett Device - the child witch whose testimony sent the Pendle witches to the gallows in 1612. Can they stop the witch hunt from happening again? EXTRACT “My name's Esteban, and I'm a sorcerer. I specialise in time magic, called Chronomancy. Two hours ago I had a dream where something horrible tore itself out of the city. It was like watching a wasp larva hatch out of a spider. I saw fire raging around everywhere. In my dream my friend Danny was trying to hold a circle. That's what Danny does, he's a Conjurer. Conjurers draw magic circles and exorcise the Things That Shouldn't Be Here™”
