Marcus Sedgwick Q and A

111005-FOI-Sedgwick-560x315
What would you sacrifice for someone you’ve loved forever?

This is the basis of Marcus Sedgwick’s new teen novel, Midwinterblood, a spine chillingly dark historical love story which spans lifetimes and centuries. The book hits the shelves tomorrow (Thursday 6 October).

The public are invited to join Sedgwick as he explores the twists and turns of this fast paced gothic tale at the Cambridge Festival of Ideas on Saturday 22 October.

Marcus Sedgwick is a critically acclaimed author of young adult fiction and has won, or been shortlisted for, over 30 awards including the Carnegie Medal and the Booktrust Teenage Book Award in his 17 year career in publishing. Now living in Cambridgeshire and writing full time, Marcus took time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions about his new book Midwinterblood, and how working in the children’s section of Cambridge bookshop Heffers inspired him to get in to writing teenage fiction.
