On 11th December at 7.30pm, Essie will be at The Christmas Vanguard Readings, upstairs at The Bear in Camberwell.
This free monthly literary event is hosted by Richard Skinner - acclaimed author, and poet, and also Director of the Faber Writing Academy. Richard invites writers - both new and established - to read from their latest work, and also to chat and mingle with members of the audience.
Essie will be reading a ghostly and seasonal extract from her latest novel, The Goddess and The Thief - an 'Oriental Gothic' set in India and England, with ancient myths of Hindu gods and fraudulent spirit mediums who dabble in deceptions in Victorian candlelit parlours.
