LA Larkin - Local Crime Writer - Friday 18th June 2021

Cyber trolls, serial killers and the FBI – how does local author, L.A. Larkin, create such terrifying stories?

How does a crime-thriller author get inside the head of a serial killer? How do they create story locations that feel so real? Do fiction authors get the law enforcement procedures right? And does the FBI ever talk to authors?

To celebrate the launch of her new book, Widow’s Island, set in the USA, local author L.A. Larkin will share the secrets of writing a nail-biting thriller and the fascinating people she interviewed to inform her latest novel.
