About S.D. Sykes

SD Sykes is a British author from Kent who has made a name for herself writing historical fiction and mystery novels. Sykes grew up in the Somerset neighborhood of London before she moved to Manchester, and then finally to Kent. It was at Kent that she got influenced by history, nature, Gothic literature, and her mildly eccentric and large family. Having lived in such a historic area she spent many of her afternoons exploring Penshurst Place, Ightham Mote, and Scotney Castle estates. As a child she had always loved to tell stories and by the time she was six she had written her first ever book that she insisted that her parents type and bind. However, her writing dried up when she was in her twenties though she always believed she would get back to it someday. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Somershill Manor Mystery Books series, S.D. Sykes has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
