Case Files issue 36 – out soon!
Case Files is an ezine that profiles new or forthcoming novels from members of the Crime Writers’ Association.
Subscribing is free – and it let’s you discover which contributors in the forthcoming issue are behind these weird facts and odd confessions!
- Which CWA member is Romany and was born in the back of a barrel-top wagon?
- Which CWA member used to perform with her sister and parents for local charities and social groups? (They were, ahem, known as The Four Aces.)
- Which CWA member’s second baby is due out 4 days before her second book? (She’s taking bets on which comes into the world first.)
- Which CWA member is Brazilian, but found success writing books in English? (He also published works in Italian without ever setting a foot in the country.)
- Which CWA member once worked as a tent hand in a travelling circus and had a stall on Portobello market?
