Mortlock's Magic Moment

I was delighted recently to hear that a writer friend, Jonathan Mayhew, has just agreed a three-book deal with Bloomsbury via his agent, Sarah Davies of the Greenhouse Literary Agency. Jonathan's book, Mortlock, is a great gothic adventure that includes jungle mysteries, flesh-eating crows, ancient country houses, a terrifying circus and a rather wonderful Emporium of Archaic Antiquities. What more could a young reader ask for? It's always gratifying to hear that an author's (and an agent's!) hard work has finally paid off with a publishing deal. Jonathan is so brimful of energy that I know he'll make the very most of this exciting new path in life. Go, Mortlock!
