Novelist, screenwriter, adapter and former publisher Antonia Hodgson has written four acclaimed historical novels. Her first novel, The Devil in the Marshalsea, won the CWA Historical Dagger 2014 and was shortlisted for the Theakston's Crime Novel of the Year, the John Creasey Dagger for Best First Novel and the HWA Debut Crown. It was also a Richard & Judy and Waterstones Book Club selection. However, fantasy has always been her first love. Antonia was born and grew up in Derby and studied English at the University of Leeds. She lives in London.
