William Hussey visits King's

Author William Hussey visited the Library at King's again for an informal session organised in conjunction with the Barrowby and Grantham Children's Book Group. William read an extract from his latest book Gallows at Twilight, the second in his Witchfinder triology. He then answered many questions from the audience such as where does he get his inspiration from? How does he go about writing his books? How long does he spend researching the background? William gave us a taster of ideas for his future novels which sound excellent.

" An ancient evil walks again . . .
Eight pale hands—some with fingers stripped down to the bone—rose out of the earth. Slimy with rain, the rat‐gnawed heads of four soldiers loomed into view. They moaned at the sky and their cry moulded itself into a word: ‘FLLLLLLEEESSSSSSHHHHHH!’" from  Gallows at Twilight

Message from William Hussey

Do you remember author, William Hussey visiting us in March? Well, he has asked me to forward this message to you, especially if you enjoyed reading his book Witchfinder.

As your school is one I've visited recently I was wondering if you could do me a MASSIVE favour - it'll only take 2 minutes. I've been nominated for the Brit Writer of the Year Award for Witchfinder! The 10 finalists were whittled down from hundreds of entries and now the competition is open to a public vote.
 
If you could vote for me all you have to do is email 'Witchfinder: Dawn of the Demontide' to leah@britwriters.co.uk or text 'Witchfinder: Dawn of the Demontide' to 07772 311901, and I'll be eternally grateful.
 
Many thanks

Author, William Hussey, known as "the new master of dark fiction" visited The King’s School on 12 March 2010. The following is an extract from William's blog ...

“Last week, I was lucky enough to be invited by the Grantham and Barrowby Children’s Book Group (a really cool organisation that aims to get kids reading) into The King’s School in Grantham. King’s is an ancient school with beautiful buildings and a very famous ‘old boy’: Sir Isaac Newton! This connection was especially interesting for me as Sir Isaac was one of the few rational voices in the 17th Century who spoke out against the belief in evil spirits and the persecution of witches.
