Have
you ever considered where you might hide a body? Thought about being the
gumshoe who follows clues to find a killer? Daydreamed on a Monday morning
where you might like to retire with the proceeds of ill-gotten gains? If so,
join author and publisher, Arlene Hunt, to explore the underlying themes of
crime fiction. Focusing on characters, plot development, story arcs and
mystery, we will dissect our story with gory relish. We will explore intent
and red herrings, create tension; and ultimately unmask our villain.
This
is a writing-heavy, intensive course that deals with the complicated business
of crime fiction. Over five days we are going to develop and craft a
functional crime fiction novella- to be read on the final day.
Not
for the faint hearted!

Arlene Hunt is a unique voice in Irish crime fiction. Her dark and atmospheric stories perfectly capture the grimy underworld of Dublin and beyond. I am a fan.
