Jeff Sexton
I’m the guy you come to when you want to hear about the books you’re not going to hear about from anyone else.

A few years later, I became life-alteringly ill, spent years in and out of hospital, writing diaries and stories all the way through, which culminated inContinue reading “Cathryn Kemp”
Laura Purcell
My life has been heavily book-focused. I started writing as a teenager and went straight from school to working in a bookshop, where I met my husband. My fiction combines my fascination with history and my passion for horror films, but it doesn’t feature the other love of my life: guinea pigs. I’ve owned fifteenContinue reading “Laura Purcell”
