The Panel are Chris Curran, Antony Dunford
Charles Harris, Christine Poulson
and the participating Moderator is Jeffrey Siger
Chris Curran
writes psychological suspense under her
own name and also as Abbie Frost (The Guesthouse). She lives on the south coast of England,
moving recently from Hastings, a location for several of her novels, to the
fascinating Romney Marsh area. Her latest novel, When the Lights Go
Out, is set in the atmospheric Forest of Dean and was inspired by her
early, and spectacularly unsuccessful, acting career.
Charles Harris
trained in acting with Peter Frye of the New York Actors Studio, before working
his way up to direct award-winning cinema and TV. His debut political thriller
novel The Breaking of Liam Glass was
shortlisted for Wishing Shelf and Eyelands International Literary Awards. His
second is the psychological thriller Room 15. He has also written books
on screenwriting and police slang, is a director of the SoA and a black belt in
Aikido.
Christine Poulson
was a respectable academic with a PhD in History of Art. Then she turned
to crime. Deep Water (2016) was the first in a series
of medical thrillers featuring
scientist Katie Flanagan. Cold Cold Heart
(2017), is set in
Antarctica, An Air That Kills (2019) in a high security lab. She has
written numerous short stories and in 2018 was short-listed for both the
Margery Allingham Prize and the CWA Short Story Dagger.
Jeffrey Siger fled his
position as a name partner in his own NYC law firm to write Greece-based
mystery thrillers on Mykonos. The New York Times picked him as Greece’s
thriller novelist of record, and Reader’s Digest Select Editions
described him as among its “new favorite authors.” He’s received Lefty and
Barry “Best Novel” nominations for his CI Andreas Kaldis series, been Chair of
Bouchercon, and served as an adjunct college professor teaching mystery
writing.
