LitfestHot on the heels of the last post telling you of one Flax Author’s recent success, comes news of another. Both Ian seed and Jane Eagland appeared in “Square Cuts Flax001″, the inaugural Flax publication from a couple of years back. So it’s interesting to find both have debut books out this year.
Jane’s debut book “Wildthorn” is published by Macmillan in March.
The story is set in the 1870s, where “Seventeen-year-old Louisa Cosgrove longs to break free from her respectable life as a Victorian doctor’s daughter. But her dreams become a nightmare when Louisa is sent to Wildthorn Hall: labelled a lunatic, deprived of her liberty and even her real name. As she unravels the betrayals that led to her incarceration, she realizes there are many kinds of prison. She must be honest with herself – and others – in order to be set free. And love may be the key . . .”
You can read more about Jane in a recent feature in The Bookseller Magazine here…
And for further information, or to order a copy of the book look no further than Pan Macmillan…
