About Me:
Although I enjoy reading a variety of crime fiction, I have been particularly interested in translated novels, when not reading French. I am currently working on a PhD at Warwick University on Fred Vargas, but also reading other contemporary French women crime writers. I am also responsible for the British part of the Europolar.eu website. I am always looking for articles on politically and socially engaged British crime fiction - so do get in touch if you feel inspired to contribute a review or critique.

Reader, Writer

Translated European crime fiction.

    thanks so much Sue.
    I think unfortunately so many authors are only trying to get where the market forces leads them or perhaps they are seeking to produce a commercially loveable work.
    I wish it weren't so.
    I've seen my w.i.p. change--alter a little before my eyes. not that I in anyway can even aspire to the heights of other more capable authors!
    But in a small way, I'm proud of my very minor sea change--I'm just beginning my final draft now and will see where it goes--
    as for you, sue! I so admire your work for better, more socially committed fiction--raising awareness and so on. wow. carry on!
    yes, do stop by when you have time.
    I know what you mean about this site--it's so easy for me to get distracted and run amok! My favorite thing on here is the Forum, but it can get very time consuming!
    anyway, thanks for your note and take care.
    all the best!
