I started writing very young, I remember stapling paper together to make little books and writing some truly terrible poetry in them (even for a six year old). They\u2019re still around somewhere, and my mum has been known to find them when the family gets together and read them to everyone!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>I was surprised to find that cunning folk are rooted in historical fact. Did you discover anything unexpected when you were researching?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So many interesting and strange details! That cunning folk often used prayers in their work, for example, and that red and white flowers next to each other were thought to be a sign of a death. There was also a lot of competitiveness between rival cunning folk, to the point where they would accuse each other of dabbling in dark magic.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you give Suffolk readers a flavour of your new novel <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=3057827\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>Cunning Women<\/strong><\/em><\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s set in 17th Century Lancashire and is essentially a love story between Sarah, daughter of the local cunning woman, and Daniel, a farmer\u2019s son. But a zealous new magistrate arrives in the village, determined to root out sinners, and when a terrible, brutal event takes place his attention turns to Sarah\u2019s family. She is forced to reckon with her fate, and try to save all that she holds dear.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you find the &#8216;voices&#8217; for Sarah and Daniel and how did the book come together as you wrote it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was inspired to write <em>Cunning Women<\/em> after I watched a documentary about the Pendle witch trials. I was especially moved by the plight of the family involved, and the terrible position they were in of being desperately poor and vulnerable, but also considered to have great power.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about this gave me the character of Sarah, and the story flowed from her, really. So I think Sarah\u2019s voice was quite strong in my mind from the very beginning, as she was the catalyst for the whole book. And of course, the more you write and the more time you spend with the characters, the stronger their voices become, so by the end I had a very strong sense of both of them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The cover of <em>Cunning Women<\/em> is stunning. Did you have any input into that?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thank you! I\u2019ve been incredibly lucky with both the hardback and the paperback cover, they\u2019re both beautiful. But I can take no credit at all! The publisher kindly showed me early plans for the cover and asked my opinion, but of course, I was thrilled and had nothing to say.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there anything you can share with us about your latest project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s still historical fiction, and explores similar themes to <em>Cunning Women<\/em>. But the setting, characters and story are quite different!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>One book, piece of music or work of art that everyone should experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s so hard to pin it down to one! I can only say that I think everyone reads one book that has a great affect on them, usually when they\u2019re quite young. For me, that was William Golding\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=170098\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Lord of the Flies<\/em><\/a>, which I read in two days when I was fourteen. I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ve ever been the same since!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>As a debut author, what has been the best part of the publishing process?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There have been so many, it\u2019s difficult to choose the best! Finding a brilliant agent who really understood what I was trying to do with the book was very exciting. And of course, not much beats seeing your book for the first time!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the best piece of advice you were ever given?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To take writing seriously, and make time for it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you tell us one thing about yourself that your readers may not know?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I was a child I had a pet chicken.
