Ally Sherrick
Ally was born in Epsom, Surrey, where the famous Derby horse race takes place and Epsom Salts are from. When she was growing up she wanted to be an Egyptologist and dig up mummies. But instead, after a degree in medieval history, English and French, she worked in public relations and marketing, writing press releases, editing magazines, organising events and taking part in radio interviews. In 2010 she took a career break and studied for an MA in Writing for Children. This led on to the publication of her award-winning first novel, 'Black Powder', a page-turning adventure about young Catholic boy, Tom's desperate quest to save his father from the hangman's noose at the time of the infamous Gunpowder Plot.
Ally's second novel, 'The Buried Crown', is set during World War Two and tells the story of a brave evacuee boy, George and his refugee friend, Kitty and their bid to outwit the attempt of a band of Nazis to steal a priceless Anglo-Saxon crown.
'The Queen's Fool', her exciting new Tudor England-set adventure, will be published in February 2021.
