Jacek Dukaj on Ice

“Why would the characters in Ice think and speak like Shakespeare's characters?”

I remember this quite clearly. It all started when I read Tadeusz Kotarbiński's 1913 article ‘The Problem of the Existence of the Future.’ This is a foundational text of the Polish school of logicians…

Why Ice?

Ursula Phillips on translating Ice by Jacek Dukaj

My first encounter with Ice came shortly after it was published (December 2007). I bought it on a visit to Poland in the spring of 2008 after reading an intriguing review in a leading newspaper. Even…

Venetia Constantine on The Last Starborn Seer

“The gift of foresight is such a double-edged sword; resulting in a devastating burden of knowledge”

Elodie Harper on Boudicca’s Daughter

“I am more interested in the psychological impact of big events rather than retelling the events themselves”

Boudicca is a fascinating yet hugely divisive historical figure. It is tempting to turn her story into an empowering tale of one woman’s rebellion against Rome, yet this was also a brutal conflict whi…

Annabel Monaghan on It's a Love Story

“I love writing summer books, where the waves are crashing and slowly changing everything they touch”

Two years ago I read I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jeanette McCurdy and it really stayed with me. I couldn’t stop thinking about all the child stars I’d seen grow up on TV and wondering about what it would…

Breanne Randall on Spells, Strings, and Forgotten Things

“My favourite romantasy tropes will always be enemies to lovers, one bed, and forced proximity”

I think it’s fair to say that reader reaction is a huge part of why I even write in the first place! There’s something so unique about creating something that builds a community where you all love the…

Bex Hogan on Nettle

“I love picking up books that explore faery tales from far and wide”

I was raised on Grimm’s faery tales and so it almost feels full circle for me to be writing my own. For a long time it was something I shied away from, because how could I possibly do justice to the g…

Imogen Edwards-Jones on The Witch's Daughter

“The occult and necromancy were incredibly popular during this period”

The Russian Revolution was so incredibly brutal and destructive, it destroyed an empire and deposed a Tsar. The Royal family were horrifically murdered in a cellar in Siberia and a whole social class…

Dan Jones on Henry V

Henry V has “been warped curiously out of shape by Shakespeare”

Most historians who know what they’re talking about would rate Henry V as the most successful king who ever ruled medieval England. Kingship in his age was essentially about two things: being successf…

Elodie Harper on The Temple of Fortuna

“Pompeii is about as close to time travel as you can get”

I don't think it's a secret that Vesuvius makes an appearance in this book! When I was planning the trilogy I knew the eruption would be a part of the story but didn't want to write a frustratingly ab…
