Francis is also the author of five highly-praised books of non-fiction and he teaches writing at Goldsmiths College, University of London.

Richard T Kelly?s third novel The Knives ? a follow-up to his acclaimed debut Crusaders ? is a gripping political thriller set at the heart of government, concerning a fictional Home Secretary who finds himself besieged by multiple crises, both political and personal.

Harry Parker joined the British Army when he Harry Parker 1 b&w © Gemma Daywas 23 and served in Iraq in 2007 and Afghanistan in 2009. His debut novel is Anatomy of a Soldier, which is a moving, enlightening and fiercely dramatic novel about one man?s journey of survival and the experiences of those around him in war. The story is told from the perspective of inanimate objects that surround Parker?s characters ? an original take with utterly compelling results.
