HARRIS, Charlaine
United Kingdom and British Commonwealth only: Represented in these territories on behalf of Jabberwocky Literary Agency.
It has taken twenty-five years of hard work for Charlaine Harris to become an overnight success. She has written all sorts from poetry and plays to novels in many genres – mysteries, crime, romance – but it is her supernatural stories that have turned her into a true global superstar. The hugely popular Sookie Stackhouse series about a “telepathic Louisiana barmaid and friend to vampires, werewolves, and various other odd creatures” has been published in Japan, Greece, Germany, Thailand, Spain, France, and Russia as well as here and, of course in the US and this list of territories continues to expand.

HODGES, Andrew
Andrew Hodges is unusual for combining his work as a professional mathematician with writing of a distinctive personal and historical character. In 1983 he published Alan Turing: the enigma, the biography of Alan Turing (1912-1954) which succeeded in wrapping together Turing’s life as the founder of computer science, chief World War II codebreaker and as persecuted gay man.
Andrew Hodges’s work brought this hidden story to a wide readership and it has remained in print ever since. It has appeared in numerous translations, and was dramatised for stage and television by High Whitemore under the title Breaking the Code. Read the rest of this entry »
HUBBARD, Sue
At various times an antique dealer and a small holder, Sue Hubbard is an award-winning poet, fiction writer and freelance art critic. Her work explores both the dark and the light within human experience. Through an evocation of the perceived and actual world and the careful attention to the detail of things – be it art or nature, the incidental or the everyday – she attempts to give voice to our deepest emotions. Her subjects are those of love, loss and memory. She writes of our vulnerabilities, so often concealed, and through their disclosure, suggests the possibility of renewal.
A Hawthornden Fellow, she was twice winner of the London Writers competition and held the residency as the Poetry Society’s first-ever Public Art Poet, during which she created a number of site-specific poems for a visual arts project in Birmingham’s jewellery quarter. Read the rest of this entry »

HUGHES, Matthew
Born in Liverpool, Matthew Hughes moved with his family to Canada when he was just five years old and in his own words “I’ve made my living as a writer all of my adult life, first as a journalist, then as a staff speechwriter to the Canadian Ministers of Justice and Environment, and — from 1979 until a few years back– as a freelance corporate and political speechwriter in British Columbia. I am a former director of the Federation of British Columbia Writers and I used to belong to Mensa Canada, but these days I’m conserving my energies to write fiction.” Read the rest of this entry »
