The next JK Rowling is Irish

Perhaps… F.E. Higgins is definitely a name to watch. Her latest book The Bone Magician, was released on 7th March and is selling pretty well at the moment.
“The Silver Apple Killer preys on the people of Urbs Umida, a rotten and wretched city. Two things connect the victims they all had a small silver apple in their pocket, and they had all recently visited a notorious inn to see one of two acts: the hideous Gluttonous Beast and the astonishing Bone Magician”
The reason I write about her is that she is originally from my own neck of the woods, Wicklow Town, and many people will have heard of her father, one WGA Scott, himself an author and prolific letter writer to newspapers in Ireland. The Scott family household in Wicklow is full of books so I’m not surprised Fiona is following in her father’s literary footsteps.
That’s another book added to my must read list.
Available at Booksunlimited.ie and all good book sellers nationwide…
