Born and raised in Britain, Sedgwick's YA books have been much praised; his first title for adults, A Love Like Blood, was released in March, and his latest YA title, She is Not Invisible, is being released in the U.S. this month. Midwinter Blood is described as "Seven stories of passion and love separated by centuries but mysteriously intertwined -- this is a tale of horror and beauty, tenderness and sacrifice."
"This is quite a coup for us," says Steve. "The girls are very excited to have a real author, and one that many of them have read."
