On Friday 6 June 2014 come and join me, and ‘otherwise normal’ crime writers Kate Rhodes and Charlotte Williams for an event at Stoke Newington Library in conjunction with The Reading Agency. It’s part of the Stoke Newington Literary Festival and promises to be a gripping – if not slightly disturbing – evening, as we lift the lid on our twisted imaginations.
Here’s the blurb:
What drives otherwise very normal women to write about murder, death, suspense and all things criminal? Hosted by MJ McGrath, best known for her Edie Kiglatuk series, this panel of leading female crime writers looks at why good women write ‘bad’. Kate Rhodes, a prize winning poet, introduces a psychologist as the main character in her debut novel, A Killing Of Angels. Lucy Atkins, an award winning author and journalist, looks at strong female characters in her novel The Missing One and the lengths a mother will go to to protect her child. Charlotte Williams’ The House On The Cliff features a psychotherapist investigating a suspcious death.
