I live in Lincolnshire and love the flat, endless landscapes and I want these to be seen in my books. Mike Malone has moved from the city to Lincolnshire - unlike me, I was born here and haven't moved.

In my full-time, job I teach in a secondary school. I teach 11-16 year-olds and as you might imagine, sometimes it is a real pleasure to come home and murder someone on paper. It certainly releases the tension after a stressful day in the classroom.

The winner of this year’s Dublin Literary Award. This is a shortish novel - I listened to it on audible and it was just under 5 hours - but there is so much in it to think about. This is a sort of dystopian but so elements of it could be today. This ...more
