discussed by the following authors:
Indrek
Hargla,
a freelance author since 1999, has won seventeen Estonian SF awards and
published over twenty novels. Domestically and internationally he is better known
as a writer of medieval crime fiction. The books featuring fifteenth century
apothecary Melchior have been translated into six languages. Hargla has
received international awards, including the Honorary Medal of Caunes-Minervois
(France), and also many Estonian literary awards. He has written several stage
plays and screenplays for television series.
John
Lawton
who writes historical novels featuring Frederick Troy and Joe Wilderness. There’ve
been about a dozen so far, spanning 1935 to 1965. John thinks time should have
stopped in 1966 as everything since seems to be the work of Satan, Margaret
Thatcher or Kenny Everett. He particularly dislikes cell phones, social media
and instant coffee. His favourite word is ‘shed’. His cat is called Tosca. His next
novel will be Hammer to Fall, in
March 2020.
