About the Author

Thomas T Wedow

Thomas T Wedow is a British writer of historical fiction about ordinary hands at extraordinary moments.

His debut novel, The Printer's Apprentice, emerged from a long-standing fascination with London's plague year, the world of seventeenth-century coffee-houses, the art of ciphers and codes, and the dangerous craft of printing in an age when words could cost a man his life.

The novel is set against the backdrop of the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London, following Anne Ellwood, a printer's daughter who must navigate a city of secrets, disease, and conspiracy.

The Runes of Dunross draws on Scottish folklore, the history of the North Berwick witch trials, and the wild beauty of the Scottish coast. It tells the story of Violet MacLeod, an eleven-year-old girl who inherits a remote manor house and discovers that some secrets refuse to stay buried.
