JOHN THOMPSON

I am a keen member of my local writing group, Llanelli Writers’ Circle, which provides excellent support and critical analysis. Over the last decade or so I have specialised mainly in short stories, and have won awards from the ‘National Association of Writers’ Groups’ and been short-listed several times in other competitions, notably those contained in ‘Writing Magazine’, which I would recommend to any aspiring writer.

In 2008, she
decided on a career break and moved to the Derbyshire Peak District, the other
side of the Cat and Fiddle hill where she grew up. She retrained as a teacher
of English as a Foreign Language and then took a job in Athens, Greece.
Homesick for the Derbyshire countryside, she wrote her first novel in the
Athenian heat, In Bitter Chill which
is set in the Peak District and based on an abduction attempt when she was a
child.
Following her return to Derbyshire in 2012 she began
teaching in language schools while polishing her manuscript and In Bitter Chill was acquired by Faber and Faber and published in 2015. While in the
staff room in her language school, Sarah opened a tabloid newspaper and was
shocked to see that a college friend had been convicted of multiple rapes of
women he’d met on dating sites. Following the newspaper article, more of his
victims came forward and she discovered that one of the attacks took place
while she and the attacker were at university together. Date rape and the
policing of such crimes is the subject of her second novel, A Deadly Thaw.
Sarah now combines writing with teaching both English as
a Foreign Language and various crime writing courses. She also continues to
review crime fiction and articles have appeared in various print and online
publications. Her particular interest is Nordic Noir and she is a judge on the
Petrona Award for Scandinavian crime fiction. Her books have been liked to
Scandi crime novels as she incorporates the Derbyshire landscape and climate
into her books.
She lives in one of the highest villages in the Peak
District and runs the popular crime fiction evening at the Chelmorton Festival
where crime writers from around the country appear.
