Wayne Sharrocks - Gothic/Pagan Author

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I was born in Camden, London but am presently residing in East Anglia (on the Norfolk/Suffolk border). I am currently juggling work at the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary with trying to establish a full-time literary career. In 2005 I managed to secure a three-book deal with Pegasus Publishers (Cambridge). All are dark psychological thrillers (think Val McDermid/Bret Easton Ellis with Gothic sensibilities!) My debut novel 'Redemption' was released 23/01/06 (thankfully to rave reviews) with the sequel 'Dominion' following 08/10/07. The third (but hopefully not final) contracted novel is currently a work in progress... Layout made by back off my kool-aid bitchhttp://authorsregister.com/WayneSharrocks/
