Ann Wright lives in South Yorkshire with her husband. She is the author of Children’s History of Sheffield, as well as numerous short stories published around the world in annuals and magazines for young readers. She lost count how many a long time ago, but it’s probably in the thousands by now. A Girl in Time is her first book for young adult readers.
When she’s not writing she likes watching Sci-Fi and dystopian films at the cinema, roaming around old castles and forts, and drinking cappuccino. She never goes anywhere without her Kindle, for fear of being stuck in a waiting room or hotel without something to read.

Ann Wright is currently not accepting new questions.

I usually find it needs some reworking in order to figure out what's supposed to come next. Also it forces me to just get stuck in and get absorbed again. I know when it's worked because the story is writing itself in my head in the middle of the night...(less)

I've read two other books of his, All the Light We Cannot See, and About Grace, and both have a slightly mystical element. He's a wonderful writer, so I'm looking forward to reading Memory Wall.

After that it's The End of the Day, by Claire North, another one of my favourite authors. I've read The Sudden Appearance of Hope, and The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August and really enjoyed them.

I'm also looking forward to Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and his son Owen King. I think I've read everything by Stephen King except the Bill Hodges trilogy. I read some of the first one (Mr Mercedes) and found it too disturbing even by Stephen King standards. I haven't read anything by Owen King before, so I'm interested to see how their collaboration works out.

I've also got Dragon's Green, a dystopian children's book by Scarlett Thomas, on my list. She's an excellent, though complicated writer, and I've enjoyed most of her adult fiction. This is her first children's book, so it's a must-read for me as a children's author.

Release by Patrick Ness is also on my list. I love Patrick Ness's books and read everything he writes!

Finally, there is The Summer Guest, by Justin Cronin. It seems a very different style to his previous books, the Passage Trilogy, but he's a talented author, so it's on my list of books to read.

"For me, this is a difficult book to review. The author has some important, insightful and well researched observations about the behaviour of significant sections of the population that I have previously found bewildering and difficult to comprehend:" Read more of this review »
