About Scarlett Thomas

Described by Philip Pullman as 'ingenious and original', Scarlett Thomas has always loved stories, magic and mysterious places. She tried (and failed) to write her first novel when she was six. Since then she has successfully written lots of novels, but this is her first series for children. She lives near the sea in an old house full of books, and is a professor in the English department of the University of Kent.

Galloglass is the third volume in the Worldquake Sequence.
