The start of the year has seen some wonderful reviews for When The Dead Come Calling in the Scotsman and the Herald.
“ Sedgwick’s writing is minutely observational, clever and warm. One minute you are transported by her descriptions of the landscape, the next she is raising the hairs on the back of your neck with her dreamlike descriptions of whatever lurks in the cave at the foot of the cliffs. It is her portrayal of the closed world of a remote community, however, that will chill you to the bone.” ~ Scotsman
“It is a feature of Sedgwick’s writing that she can “do” the believable supernatural, and the pages of When The Dead Come Calling fairly sizzle with stag- men, menhirs and evil carrion birds… a thumpingly good read shot through with some beautiful prose – “rain like slashes of metal” – and exploring a plethora of thought-provoking themes.” ~ Herald
And I had a marvellous event in Edinburgh’s Lighthouse Books called Challenging the Narrative with authors Jane Alexander, Rachel Plummer and Jemma Neville.
But as the Coronavirus arrived in Scotland, it became clear that things were about to change. As I write this I don’t yet know if the rest of my planned launch events in Skye and Inverness will be taking place. It is a hard time for all authors, so if you’re stuck at home wondering what to do, might I suggest ordering a book to read – most shops are offering postal deliveries and you can always download an eBook.
Stay healthy and happy 🙂
