Charlene D'Avanzo
“Many fiction writers have used novels to promote social change. Why couldn’t I? No matter that I had no experience whatsoever writing fiction. I could learn. I decided on mysteries because I love the genre and could envisage a story featuring climate change researchers hounded by climate change doubters.”
Charlene D'Avanzo, Cold Blood, Hot Sea
