Terence Blacker

Agent: Caroline Sheldon

Terence Blacker is one of the most original authors writing for children today. His major new project, The Twyning (UK: Head of Zeus/US: Candlewick, 2013) is an epic story pitting the human world against the animal. Passionate and compelling, at times cruel in its savagery and at others gentle in its compassion, The Twyning is a story not to be forgotten.

Terence's series of books for younger children about Ms Wiz, the teacher who just happens to be a paranormal operative, are published by Andersen Press and have delighted children all around the world.

Terence is a columnist for the Independent, plays the guitar, writes songs and lives in his house in the Norfolk countryside which he converted from a goose hatchery.
