The Ngaio Marsh Awards, in association with the New Zealand Book Council and the Wairarapa Library Service, invites booklovers to an event featuring three talented writers.
2017 Ngaio Marsh Awards entrants Cat Connor and Jude Knight will be in discussion with 2013 Ngaio Marsh Award winner Paul Thomas, the 'Godfather of New Zealand Crime Writing', about what they love about crime and mystery stories, and how they create compelling characters, evoke vivid fictional worlds, and blend real-life issues into page-turning plotlines.
WHEN: Saturday 27 May 2017
WHERE: Greytown Library, 89-91 Main Street, Greytown
WHEN: 3pm
This is a free event.
Cat Connor lives in Upper Hutt and is the author of the‘byte’ series starring headstrong and highly skilled FBI Special Agent Ellie Conway. The series was initially inspired by Cat receiving online death threats when she ran a poetry chat room. Her novels have been described as “fast-paced techno-thrillers with black humour, likable protagonists, and full of twists and turns”.
