SALLY HINCHCLIFFE was born inLondon in 1969 and she grew up all over the world as her father served the Foreign Office in New York, Kuwait, Tanzania, Dubai, Zambia and Jordan. In 2004 she did an MA in Creative Writing at Birkbeck and as part of the course helped found and edit the Mechanics' Institute Review, aka MIR. Besides Out of a Clear Sky, she has published a number of short stories, including 'In Heaven there is no Beer', a 2005 Asham Award runner up. She worked for over 10 years at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew before giving up her job and moving to Scotland to write full time. She has long been a keen birdwatcher and has sought birds wherever she has travelled – from Antarctica to Swaziland and all points in between.
"The watchers become both predators and prey in this confident and well-paced novel, which builds to its gruesome climax with leisurely menace." Guardian
THOMAS LEGENDRE was born in Maine and studied at the University of New Hampshire and the University of Delaware before getting his MFA in creative writing from Arizona State University. He now lives in Edinburgh with his wife and their daughter. The Burning is his first novel.
'The Burning provides enormous emotional and intellectual satisfaction. It seems unlikely there will be a better debut this year' Independent on Sunday
