Blood Red, Snow White by Marcus Sedgwick5/19/2023 ![]() ![]() It came from several different places, the first being from an extraordinary painting that hangs in an art gallery in Sweden called Midvinterblot. Midwinterblood has a very complex tight-knit plot, where did the inspiration come from? Now living in Cambridgeshire and writing full time, Marcus took time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions about his new book Midwinterblood, and how working in the children’s section of Cambridge bookshop Heffers inspired him to get in to writing teenage fiction. Marcus Sedgwick is a critically acclaimed author of young adult fiction and has won, or been shortlisted for, over 30 awards including the Carnegie Medal and the Booktrust Teenage Book Award in his 17 year career in publishing. The public are invited to join Sedgwick as he explores the twists and turns of this fast paced gothic tale at the Cambridge Festival of Ideas on Saturday 22 October. The book hits the shelves tomorrow (Thursday 6 October). This is the basis of Marcus Sedgwick’s new teen novel, Midwinterblood, a spine chillingly dark historical love story which spans lifetimes and centuries. ![]()
