JO BAVINGTON-JONES
GUEST POST FROM JO Crime pays, so they say. And, to a large extent where books are concerned, this is true. My crime novels far outsell my women’s fiction novels. So, having turned to a life of crime (fiction) in 2021, why am I still writing women’s fiction? That’s a good question! Crime and detective fiction are undoubtedly my first loves. From the moment I opened Richard Scarry’s The Great Pie Robbery at a very young age, I was hooked, and my reading taste has never really changed.

Published by Avon on the 27th March 2025 Chris Bridges graduated from the 2022 London Writers Award.

PUBLISHED BY AUSTIN MACAULEY ON THE 21st MARCH 2025 This publication is by a local Folkestone writer Margaret Harland-Suddes. I have just finished reading this and I must admit it had me hooked wondering what would happen next. Teenagers are going to love this if they like sci-fi adventures.
