HK Askwith is the debut author of A Dark Inheritance. In 1920s New York, an anxious teenager discovers a cryptic code which reveals that a secret society has been controlling a dark magic with terrible consequences, and unless he finds a way to break the magic’s curse, he will die on his 18th birthday
Heather explained the process of putting a book together. Her first book took four years to transition from a first draft to launch.
We discovered why she had chosen to set her book in the 1920s and her fixation with A Great Gatsby. Heather then shared with us the ingredients and recipe that she used to create A Dark Inheritance. Students had the opportunity to choose their own ingredients for a magical tale and who knows if one of those stories will be published one day…
