The Ngaio Marsh Awards, in association with the New Zealand Book Council and Hutt City Libraries, invites booklovers to an event featuring three talented local crime writers.
2017 Ngaio Marsh Awards entrants Cat Connor, TA MacLagan, and LJ Ritchie will discuss how they create memorable characters, craft page-turning plotlines, and infuse their exciting storytelling with real-life issues. Steph Soper of the New Zealand Book Council will umpire.
WHEN: Tuesday 2 May 2017
WHERE: War Memorial Library, 2 Queens Drive, Lower Hutt
WHEN: 6.15 for a 6.30pm panel discussion
This is a free event.
Cat Connor’s ‘byte’ books starring FBI Special Agent Ellie Conway have been described as “fast-paced techno-thrillers with black humour, likable protagonists, full of twists and turns”.
TA MacLagan is a Kansas native who immigrated to the bush-clad hills of Wellington. Her series starring a reluctant teenage spy has been called "page-turning, slickly written, and full of intrigue".
LJ Ritchie's LIKE NOBODY'S WATCHING centres on a group of teens who use computer skills to combat bullies, only to be seduced by their new-found power. "An engaging story about the line between heroes and villains, and the abuse of social media".
