Memory of Midnight

After an earlier career spent working and travelling around the world, including stints as cook on an outback cattle station, interpreter on expedition in Cameroon and English teacher in Jakarta, Pamela stumbled into writing as a way of funding a PhD in Medieval Studies. Settling at last in York, for several years she combined academic research with a successful career as a romance writer. Her thesis on the streets of later medieval and early modern York was finally completed in 2004 and she continues to work (very slowly) on a scholarly edition of the wardmote court records that formed the basis of her research. The Memory of Midnight is her second novel based on her study of Elizabethan York and written under her real name. Time's Echo was her first.For more about Pamela, please see her website www.pamelahartshorne.com, find her on Facebook or follow her on Twitter @PamHartshorne.

'This is a superbly haunting time-tripping story' Peterborough Telegraph 'It is set in Tudor York, which is a glorious evocative setting. And if you love history, romance and ghosts, you'll love this' Deborah Swift 'What a terrific novel. I really enjoyed it and became deeply involved in the lives of the two heroines' Elizabeth Buchan 'A brilliant and bristling spine-chiller' Pendle Today 'If you're the sort of person who chews fingernails when things get tense, I suggest, whilst reading this, you might want to consider mittens' The Book Bag 'All I can do is urge you to pick it up! ... Time's Echo is full of tension, drama, history, love, superstition, and it is a book that is so thrilling you won't be able to put it down! There is danger and tension throughout which had me on the edge of my seat. A great novel!
