The Ngaio Marsh Awards, in association with Auckland Libraries, invites booklovers to an event featuring talented local storytellers.
As crime and thriller writing has evolved from puzzle-like mysteries to books delving deeply into psychology, people and places, it has continued to be one of the world’s most popular forms of storytelling. What draws us to darker tales, both fictional and real?
2019 Ngaio Marsh Awards entrants Anna Leask, Kelly Lyndon, and Patricia Snelling will discuss crafting compelling storylines, bringing both real and fictional characters to life on the page, the impact of setting, and what drew them to writing books.
