L.A Larkin    devour cover

 

L.A Larkin writes thrillers around the issue of environmental crime and ecological disasters. Her books, such as Devour,  have strong female protagonists. In a twist, Michael Robotham wrote his book ‘The Secrets she keeps’  in a first person female voice. He loves to analyse the psychology of people who commit crimes more than than depicting the crime itself. Hear them both talk about their work and then read a passage just for you. Music track in this episode is ‘Rhythm and Rhyme’  by Abbie Cardwell

L.A Larkin with ‘Devour’ and Michael Robotham ‘The Secrets She Keeps’

     

    

This week’s podcast  theme is Crime – ‘Devour‘ deals with the imagined  terrifying consequences of climate change and arctic exploration and big business skulduggery, ‘The Secrets she Keeps‘ is  a complete contrast as we enter the twisted internal world of a psychotic stalker. In this case, a pregnant woman!

Narratives National Edition is live now!

Special half hour editions of Narratives are now being broadcast every week on Monday evenings at 7.05pm   on the Community Radio Network.

Sometimes I will have space on my show Arts Canvass to play these but not all of them and there are some fantastic author’s reads and interviews on these shows.

SO, you can go to the PODCASTS page on my Narratives Library website and listen there, on your phone, tablet or computer.

       

First up this week is Hannah Kent with ‘The Good  People’ and Robert Drewe with ‘Whipbird‘.

We are contemplating developing an special Narratives App so you can just log in and listen anywhere on your phone and tablet. Let me know if this idea appeals to you! (Also let me know if you would like to be sponsor of this project – I can take up to four depending on level of support. )
