Sue Hampton
is an acclaimed new author published by Pegasus. Her book launch was a sell-out success and she has been featured in the press, interviewed live on radio and visited schools across
Herts, Bucks and Beds.

|
In her first novel, Spirit and Fire,
set in A.D.60, she tells the exciting and dramatic story of a Celtic girl's experience of Britannia at war.
Michael Morpurgo's review of Spirit and Fire: "
An enthralling account of the Roman occupation of Britain. A powerfully written debut in a novel that lingers long."
|
Her second historical novel,
Voice of the Aspen, is another powerful and emotional adventure story, set in Victorian Hertfordshire but also in a different world of change and conflict.

IS THIS THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION?
It is the middle of the 21st century
and in New Britain the behaviour
and feelings of children are controlled by drugs and by education without soul. Everyone is chilled and everywhere is plugged in. Everywhere, that is, except a
remote island community called Rainbow Dreams. There the RD brothers and
sisters choose freedom, the sea and the earth and to breathe air that
is not disinfected. But what happens when the two worlds collide?
Sue's latest novel is shocking both teenagers and adults.
"I couldn't put it down and finished it at 5:30 this morning." Karin, a teacher in Hitchin.
What do you think of Sue's view of education in the future? Or is it the relationships between Sam, Lia and Rory that keep you hooked?
