• S1 E7 - Graham Bartlett

  This week, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with police advisor and crime author, Graham Bartlett, to discuss the intricacies of writing - including characters, crafting a novel, and authenticity - as well as touching on his debut novel, Bad for Good, and his two complex characters, Detective Superintendent Jo Howe, and DCS Phil Cooke. I won't give any spoilers away, but this is a debut not to be missed!'Graham Bartlett rose to become chief superintendent and the divisional commander of Brighton and Hove police. His first non-fiction book Death Comes Knocking was a Sunday Times Top Ten bestseller, which he then followed with Babes in the Wood. He co-wrote these books with bestselling author, Peter James, and has since published Bad for Good and Force of Hate starring (now) Chief Superintendent Jo Howe. Bartlett is also a police procedural and crime advisor helping scores of authors and TV writers inject authenticity into their work.'I had the honour of working with Graham on my own upcoming debut novel and I absolutely cannot wait to have him on board for future episodes!

We also get an exclusive look into the writing process and Lucy's road to publication, touching on her experience with traditional publishing, as well as touching on her work in Namibia - which I found really interesting, too!You can find her on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube!For more information about Lucy's work, find the links below:* Kelp Blue Namibia* About Kelp Blue - Rewilding the Oceans* Luderitz Blue School
