Rose Biggin is a writer and performer based in London and lectures in Creative Writing at Birkbeck (University of London). Rose has long been delighting readers 'in the know' with beautifully crafted stories, tales that often play around with myth or classic literary concepts, using them as a springboard for her own unique imagination.
This, her debut collection, demonstrates why she is so highly regarded – as fine a mix of otherworldly fantasy and artful mysteries as any reader could wish for.
Featuring the author's best stories to date, Make-Believe and Artifice showcases fifteen fictions drawn from the past decade, each of which is a diversion to savour.

Chanticleer and the Peacock
The Gunman Who Came in from the Door
