In fifteen days time my book Twelve Minutes to Midnight is published. Hurrah! To give you a taste of the story to come, here’s a glimpse of the back cover blurb:
It’s 1899. Every night at twelve minutes to midnight the inmates of Bedlam, London’s notorious hospital for the insane, rise from their beds and begin scribbling strange words on any surface they can find - scraps of paper, the walls of their cells, even their own skin. What can it mean?
Penelope Tredwell, thirteen-year-old owner of the bestselling magazine, The Penny Dreadful, is intrigued. She’s always seeking out sinister stories to fill her magazine’s pages but she’s never encountered anything as chilling as this. Soon she’s ensnared in a venomous plot, and Penny realises that this isn’t just a story, it’s the future.
And the future looks deadly…
