The debut from Sean Lusk, The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesley (Transworld, July 2022), has picked up a lovely pre-pub endorsement from Essie Fox:
"This delicious feast of a novel is flavoured with characters of Dickensian brilliance, a good dollop of the grime and clamour of eighteenth century London, and a generous infusion of spices of the exotic east. One taste, you’ll be addicted."

Sticking with Sean and Zachary, both he and fellow DHH stablemate, Clare Whitfield - author of Glass Bell Award 2021 winner, People of Abandoned Character - will be at Waterstones in Durham on the 18th June, from 11am - 2pm, signing copies of their books. A date for your diary!

We were delighted to see Eve Smith's, Off Target - released this week in paperback - included in The Times' Science Fiction Fantasy roundup last week:
"Off-Target is about the seductions of gene therapy and the steps by which entirely reasonable people can steer into ethically dangerous territory. The first half is a high-concept thriller; the second edges into science fiction as a generation of genetically optimised children respond to the social pressures they are under with self-harm and suicide. It’s an astute, well-researched and convincing novel of ideas."
