About this event
9.00am | DOUBLE LIVES: WRITING AND WORKING Most writers have a second job, and the second job is writing. Four authors will share how their day jobs shape their storytelling and their unique paths to publication. Former pharmacist A.A. Dhand ’s new novel The Kingpin is an explosive, no-holds barred, drugs war thriller. The new destination thriller from ex-journalist and therapist Nikki Allen is the twisty Below the Deck . Psychotherapist and addiction counsellor GR Halliday , king of rural Scottish noir, returns with the atmospheric From the Shadows . Professional gardener LC Winter makes a stunning debut with the devilishly dark Spider, Spider . Journalist Edel Coffey will chair.
