“Dr Lorna Robinson is the founding director of the Iris Project, a charity which runs a range of classics-based initiatives in state schools and communities. She is also the founding director of the Rumble Museum at Cheney School, the first accredited museum in a school.

Her latest novel is “Oread”:

“Two hundred years have passed since the UK government instituted a bold new programme to pair every citizen with a tree. Known as the Hamadryad Charter, it created vast national forests, major civic festivals and a whole new system of personal names. Deep in the tunnels beneath London, a community has been growing which rejects the Charter. Tensions between the two societies are rising sharply. When a lone Hamadryad finds his way into the underground, a terrible tragedy threatens to unfold. Oread is the sequel to Hamadryad, but can be read as a standalone novel.”

She is also the author of three other novels.

Hamadryad – is a blend of sci-fi, ancient Roman religion and dystopian fiction, the novel imagines a near future where humans are bonded to trees.

The Birder – is a magical realist novel set in a world where people transform into animals instead of dying. The novel is illustrated throughout with linocuts depicting birds in locations around the city of Oxford.

Flower Gathers – is inspired by the mysterious Minoan Civilisation, the novel re-imagines both ancient lives and modern ones in a new exploration of an ancient setting.”

Tom is the author of fifteen books of fantasy, SF and historical fiction – including the Twilight Reign series, The God Fragments and his latest series, The Devil Diaries. After a degree in International Relations he went straight into publishing where he still works. He never received the memo about suitable jobs for writers and consequently has never been a kitchen-hand, hospital porter, pigeon hunter, or secret agent. He lives in Oxford, isn’t one of those authors who gives a damn about the history of the font used in his books and only believes in forms of exercise that allow him to hit something.
