Sam Davey (1963- ) spends a lot of her time living in her head, which is a strange but quite comforting place to be. The rest of the time is divided between work and play. Formerly a Whitehall Civil Servant, Sam worked until recently as Head of Transformation for the Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden (no magic wands available). She has now decided to focus more of her time on all things literary - and is currently dividing her time between writing and producing the Tunbridge Wells Literary Festival She lives by the sea with her husband and is one of the founders of the Hastings Book Festival and a Trustee of New Writing South Sam's new novel, The Sisters and The Sword, is the second book in the Pendragon Prophecies series, which began with The Chosen Queen - the story of Igraine, Arthur's mother. The Sisters and The Sword is a dark and mesmerizing retelling of the Camelot legends —where magic and destiny entwine with sibling rivalries, forbidden love, and looming rebellion. Angels of Islington, Sam’s first novel, uses fantasy and black humour to explore the wide ranging philosophical and theological issues relating to free-will, dualism, the nature of divinity and the essence of humanity. Sam studied philosophy and politics at the University of Durham and regards herself as religiously agnostic – but deeply interested in the power of belief to motivate acts of both perfect kindness and the most appalling cruelty.
