“I think writers are gamblers. We love writing, but even when it’s a grind, there’s always that gambler thinking next time, next spin of the wheel.”
Marnie Richies
This week, I’m joined by bestselling and award-winning author Marnie Riches, a powerhouse storyteller with 22 books under her belt. Marnie has written across a stunning range of genres, from YA to gritty gangland thrillers, and now she’s adding cosy crime to the mix with her latest novel, The Gardener’s Club.
In this conversation, we talk about:
✨The unexpected paths that crime writers often take
✨The enduring influence of growing up working class,
✨What it really means to manage expectations in the publishing industry.
It’s an honest, funny, and revealing look at the rollercoaster that is a writing life.
