Wayne Sharrocks - Gothic/Pagan Author
I was born in Camden, London but presently reside in East Anglia (on the Norfolk/Suffolk border).
After leaving college I embarked on a career within the 'Animal Welfare' sector (RSCPA, Battersea Dogs Home, DEFRA, Mayhew Animal Home), before returning to my passion for literature.
I am currently juggling work at the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary/Birds-of-Prey Centre with trying to establish a full-time literary career.
In 2005 I was fortunate enough to secure a three-book deal with Pegasus Publishers, who are based in Cambridge.
All my novels thus far are dark psychological thrillers (think Val McDermid/Bret Easton Ellis with Gothic sensibilities!)
My debut novel 'Redemption' was released 23/01/06 (thankfully to positive reviews) with the sequel 'Dominion' following 08/10/07. The third (but hopefully not final) contracted novel is currently a work in progress...
