Christine Morton-Shaw
Christine Morton-Shaw is a author of books for children and young adults (teenagers). These include picturebooks and educational and novelty titles (most notably the popular 'Stringalongs' series).〔(Christine Morton-Shaw )〕 She is perhaps best known for her more recent work as a Young Adult and Middle-Grade novelist. Her novels to date are The Riddles of Epsilon (which received, among other praise, the VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates) 'perfect ten' rating in June 2006〔('Perfect Ten' Voice of Youth Advocates, June 2006 )〕) and the forthcoming The Hunt for the Seventh(due for publication in September 2008). Her works are notable for their spooky atmosphere, an emphasis on mystery and the solving of clues (often in the form of puzzles) and surprising plot twists (or 'paradigm shifts')
== Background ==
Christine Morton-Shaw grew up in Blackburn, England where she reportedly had several spooky or supernatural experiences.〔(Christine Morton-Shaw from HarperCollins Publishers )〕 She later moved to Sheffield, England to study at university, later gaining a Masters Degree (MA) in Creative Writing from Sheffield Hallam University. Before this, she had already had several children's picturebooks published, starting with her debut ''The Pig that Barked'' (illustrated by Angie Sage, who shares Morton-Shaw's agent and publisher).
After success with several picturebook titles, Morton-Shaw's career took a new turn in 2003, when she signed a publishing deal for the teenage fantasy novel The Riddles of Epsilon with Harpercollins Children's Books UK and US arms. The book, published by the Katherine Tegen imprint in 2005 received much pre-publication hype.〔(Another 'Novel' Bologna - 5/10/2004 - Publishers Weekly )〕 Over the following years the book has built-up something of a cult following amongst teenage readers on the internet.
Morton-Shaw's second novel The Hunt for the Seventh is due out from Harper Collins US in September 2008. Little is known about the book's contents at the moment, though Morton-Shaw has hinted on her (Myspace page ) that it is another spooky or supernatural tale involving statues and a stately home.
