<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My Derbyshire police detectives Ben Cooper and Diane Fry are on holiday at the moment (I think they deserved it after 18 novels and all those murders!). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So my next book, due out in the UK in August, will be something different - a standalone novel with a historical theme, called DROWNED LIVES.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is set in Derbyshire's neighbouring county, Staffordshire, and in particular around the fascinating city of Lichfield, which is packed with history. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DROWNED LIVES is a story of family secrets and a centuries-old feud, told against a background of the often dark history of inland waterways, from their origins in the industrial revolution to the restoration projects of recent decades. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even now, the West Midlands region of England contains more than 500 miles of canal, which run not only through countryside but right into the centre of major urban areas like Birmingham. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Canals are very appealing as a setting for crime fiction. They may appear very peaceful on the surface, but they attract all kinds of crime. And who knows what's under the surface? When something (or someone) disappears into water, we tend to think it's lost for ever. But we may be wrong... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've always loved to explore the ways the past can affect the present, and in DROWNED LIVES council officer Chris Buckley is about to discover a lot of things from his past which he might have preferred not to know.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I set this book in the late 1990s. That's only 20 years ago, but it feels like a historical period - there were no smartphones, and the internet was just becoming more popular. Remember the dot.com bubble? Companies like eBay were starting up, but a lot of investors in other internet start-ups got their fingers badly burned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The point where the 20th century was about to give way to the 21st felt like an interesting time to explore the buried secrets of the past.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DROWNED LIVES will be published by Sphere in hardback and ebook on 15th August 2019, along with an audio download. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you enjoy reading something a bit different!</span><br />

aware how lucky I am to make a living from writing books (my dream from being
12 years old).</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">But one disadvantage I had when I was trying to get published
was that I really had no idea how publishing works, and I only learned the
craft of writing by years of trial and error (hence all the unpublished novels
sitting in a drawer!). </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">There's
plenty on offer for aspiring writers these days. But I know there are many
writers who find it impossible to attend conferences, or to afford the courses
which might be vital to their development. I recently saw a course advertised
at £699, which I'm sure just isn't affordable for many people. Also, they
almost always take place in the cities - Writing East Midlands, for example,
run excellent writing school programmes, but are only able to offer them in
Nottingham and Leicester at the moment: <span style="margin: 0px;"><a href="https://www.writingschooleastmidlands.co.uk/"><span style="color: blue;">https://www.writingschooleastmidlands.co.uk</span></a></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">With this
in mind, I'd like to bring opportunities to writers in areas away from the big
cities, making them genuinely accessible and affordable. So I've decided to
offer my novel writing courses free in my part of the UK's East Midlands region (Nottinghamshire and neighbouring areas). </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">I'm aiming
to run some courses during 2019, probably in six weekly sessions. The subjects
I cover include character, setting and plot, as well some of the essential
technical elements of the craft which new writers often struggle with, such as
controlling point of view, 'Show Don't Tell' and the use of dialogue, etc. I
also share advice on routes to getting published, and some insights into the
mysterious world of publishing itself. There's everything from tips for keeping
your readers hooked to an explanation of the passive voice and why you should
avoid it. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">While my experience is largely in the world of crime fiction, much of
the content of my course applies to other types of novel writing. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">If you're
an aspiring novelist in the early stages of your writing career, either with a
first novel you're working on, or just with ideas you want to develop by
learning more about the craft, this might be an opportunity for you. If you
know a friend or family member who might benefit, please pass it on. And feel
free to share the information with other writers in your area. Adult writers
only though, please (18 and over). </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">This is for
writers based:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">- anywhere in
Nottinghamshire<br />
- on the eastern side of Derbyshire (Chesterfield, Bolsover, Dronfield,
Alfreton etc)</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">- in
Lincolnshire west of Lincoln (such as Gainsborough or Saxilby) </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">- on the
borders of South Yorkshire (around Tickhill, Bawtry, Dinnington etc)</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">So that I
can assess the degree of interest in this idea, please send me an email giving
your name, the town where you're located (or that you can get to easily), and a
few details about what you're interested in writing and your level of
experience. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">I'll choose locations where most people are based and work out
suitable dates and venues. The only cost would be the hire of a venue, but I'd
need between 6 and 12 people in a group to make this work.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">To register your interest, send an email to: <span style="margin: 0px;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><u><span style="color: blue;">events@stephen-booth.com</span></u></a></span></span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">A
BIT ABOUT ME: I've been writing all my life - the last 18 years as a full-time
novelist - and I first signed with a literary agent nearly 23 years ago, so I
think I've gained some experience of the writing business, and a few insights
to share. I've worked with several major publishers, both here in the UK and in
the USA, as well as foreign publishers in 16 territories around the world.
Several of the Cooper and Fry novels have been <i>Sunday Times</i> bestsellers,
and the series has won awards on both sides of the Atlantic. I've done
countless reader events, at which I get the vital reader's perspective, and
I've led courses for Writing East Midlands, as well as running a number of
workshops for writing groups, and even for prison inmates. In addition, I've
self published 14 titles under my own imprints, so have experience of the self
publishing market too. My previous career was in newspaper journalism, with
many years as a sub-editor and editor. I have three cats (this may not be
relevant!).</span></b><br />

and deeply-scoured groughs, with outcrops of weathered gritstone sculpted into
strange and fantastic shapes given distinctive names by local people - the Druid
Stone, the Boxing Gloves, Madwoman's Stones, Punch's Nose, Ringing Roger, the
Mushroom Garden. Their imaginative names are often due to their shape, or their
connection to an old story from Derbyshire history and legend. </span></b></div>

<b><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial;">And this can be a dangerous place. When I'm writing a Cooper & Fry novel, I try to reflect what's happening around me in the real world, and this new book is no different. These days, many walkers go up on to the Peak District hills unprepared and badly equipped. It's easy to become disorientated on the Kinder Scout plateau, even in fine weather. If the weather changes - as it can so quickly in this area - walkers are soon lost and straying into danger.</span></b></div>

<b style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">In August, Nottinghamshire hosts a new literary event when the first Newark Book Festival is held. It boasts a fantastic venue in the grounds of the historic Newark Castle (hence the festival's tagline 'Books in the Castle'). </b><br />
<span style="background-color: black; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></span>
<b><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The castle's long history includes its important role in the English Civil War and its fame as the place where King John died after issuing Magna Carta and suffering a disaster crossing The Wash. </span></span></span></b><b><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The castle stands right alongside the River Trent, and Newark has many other attractions to make it well worth a visit if you've never been before.</span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></span><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This festival came about following an event I did at the Storytellers Bookshop in Tuxford, Nottinghamshire, earlier this year. During a chat with the owner, Paul Trickett, he mentioned that he lived in Newark and that he'd always thought the town should have its own book festival. I thought so too, and added "someone ought to organise one". And Paul went off and did it! </span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></span><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> He's done an amazing job putting it all together and getting some fantastic authors to take part over the two days (Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th August). Please come along and support it if you're in the area. </span></span></span></b><br />

<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></b>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>A happy birthday to Ben Cooper and Diane Fry.</b></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, May 2nd 2015 marks exactly 15 years since the first appearance in the world of the Derbyshire detective duo. This was the date my debut Cooper and Fry novel BLACK DOG was originally published in the UK by HarperCollins. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many more editions have followed in succeeding years - not to mention at least 14 more books in the Cooper & Fry series.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Along the way, BLACK DOG has sold many thousands of copies around the world, and continues to sell in substantial numbers 15 years later. It's the book which many new readers start with, as it gives an insight into the characters of Ben Cooper and Diane Fry and their complex relationship.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When it was first published, BLACK DOG won the Barry Award for Best British Crime Novel of the Year in the USA, and was a finalist for the Anthony Award for the Best First Mystery Novel. In the UK, it was named by the London Evening Standard as one of the six best crime novels of 2000 - the only book on their list by a British author. It's no exaggeration to say its publication changed my life. :)</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To give you an idea of the history of this title, below are the covers of 24 different editions. Some of them are from the UK and USA, but there are also a number of translations, including five versions in German, plus editions from the Netherlands, France, Italy, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, the Czech Republic, Romania, and Japan. The range of interpretations is amazing!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many of these editions are still available, of course, and there are even more to come. I hope the history of BLACK DOG will continue well into the future!</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Here's a bit of blurb to
give you a taste of THE CORPSE BRIDGE:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">"The old Corpse Bridge
is the route taken for centuries by mourners from villages on the western
fringes of Derbyshire to a burial ground across the River Dove, now absorbed
into the landscaped parkland of a stately home called Knowle Abbey.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">"When Earl Manby, the
landowner, announces plans to deconsecrate the burial ground to turn it into a
car park for his holiday cottages, bodies begin to appear once again on the
road to the Corpse Bridge. Is there a connection with the Earl's plans? Or
worse, is there a terrifying serial killer at work?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">
<br />
"Back in his job after the traumatic events of previous months, Detective
Sergeant Ben Cooper knows that he must unravel the mystery of the Corpse
Bridge if he's going to be able to move on with his life. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">"As the pressure
builds, Ben doesn't know who he can trust and, when the case reaches breaking
point, he has to make a call that could put everything - and everyone - at
risk..."</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">** And the first review of
THE CORPSE BRIDGE has already arrived, thanks to Book Addict Shaun, who says:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">"This is one of his
best books to date... do not hesitate to pick it up and devour it!"</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></b>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A summer of endless rain in the Peak District leaves the officers of Derbyshire's CID with a problem. They have discovered a man's body lying in shallow water, but torrential rain has swollen the rivers and flooded the roads, making travel difficult and forensic examination impossible.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And that's not all. The absence of DS Ben Cooper, on extended leave after an arson attack, has left a serious gap. DS Diane Fry is a reluctant temporary replacement, but now their makeshift team is about to be tested to the limit. The fatal events of one damp August night are likely to remain shrouded in mystery if they can't track down a car glimpsed only as a dark outline in the rain by a passer-by.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the rain turns into a deluge, loyalties among the officers will be put under intolerable strain as they try to solve their toughest case yet. And that's before it emerges that Ben Cooper is not at home, but has vanished into thin air...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Packed with atmosphere, suspense and danger, bestseller Stephen Booth's exceptional new Cooper and Fry thriller is a masterclass in British crime writing."</span><br />
