Welcome to my podcast, The Crime Fiction Lounge.
AA Abbott mentions that a couple of friends sportingly agreed to pop up in her crime thrillers. Librarian Jackie Molloy saves a life in The Bride’s Trail. Intellectual property lawyer Katherine Evans advises fictional businessman Marty Bridges how to protect his vodka brand in The Revenge Trail. And more surprisingly, the street in Birmingham which she chose as the location for Marty’s vodka warehouse, ended up being the centre of a bomb scare when West Midlands Police and M15 used it for a terrorist sting. This gets a brief mention in The Revenge Trail, as Marty panics about all his vodka stocks going up in flames.
Interestingly, AA Abbott also makes her paperback books dyslexic friendly. Learn how she does this and more in the podcast interview.
