I’m delighted to invite you to our next SCR Word Sharing Event, ‘What Shaped Me as a Writer’, an evening with author Rachel Lynch taking place on Wednesday 6th February at Van Mildert College.
Funded by the Van Mildert College Trust and in collaboration with the Van Mildert SCR Book Club, the third SCR Word Sharing event focuses on influences in writing crime fiction.
Rachel, author of the DI Kelly Porter crime book series, grew up in the Lake District, read History at Lancaster University and taught History in London before marrying an Army Officer. They lived in 13 houses in as many years. Meanwhile Rachel became a personal trainer. Her husband left the army in 2013, so now they are trying to adjust to life as civilians with two teenagers and terrier called Poppy. The human capacity for compassion as well as its descent into the brutal and murky world of crime are fundamental to her work.
