It's harder to ignore the devil's mark that miraculously appears on the sails, however. The observers, although chilled by his damning proclamation, shrug it off as the ramblings of a madman. He subsequently bursts into flames and dies a very public and painful death. On the docks, a leper suddenly appears high atop a pile of crates and issues a warning that the voyage will end in merciless ruin. In 1634, passengers and crew begin boarding the merchant ship, Saardam, for a voyage from Batavia to Amsterdam. Stuart's debut novel is called The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle in the UK and The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle in the US. He doesn’t know how to write a biography, so should probably stop before he tells you about his dreams or something. He likes people who write books and people who read books. None of this was planned, he just kept getting lost on his way to other places. He stocked shelves in a Darwin bookshop, taught English in Shanghai, worked for a technology magazine in London, wrote travel articles in Dubai, and now he’s a freelance journalist. Having trained for no particular career, he has dabbled in most of them. He’s got a degree in English and Philosophy, which makes him excellent at arguing and terrible at choosing degrees. Every time his parents asked when he’d be back he told them next week, and meant it. When he left university he went travelling for three months and stayed away for five years. Stuart lives in London with his amazing wife and daughter.
