Turn The Page Podcast: Ep 12: What Makes a Thriller? with Kathryn Foxfield and Maya MacGregor6/8/2022
Welcome back to the Turn The Page podcast.
This month, our episode is all about Thrillers. Sophie is a big thriller reader, but thrillers haven't always been my cup of tea, or so I thought. But after chatting about different books, and seeing what falls under the 'thriller' category on Goodreads, this month, we're asking the question, 'What exactly makes a thriller a thriller?' To help us out, I'll be chatting to two thriller/mystery authors, Kathryn Foxfield and Maya MacGregor about their latest books and asking them what goes into writing a gripping thriller/mystery. Listen Here:Watch the Interview:Meet the Authors:
Kathryn Foxfield is a germ-loving scientist turned writer. She writes dark books about strange things. She blames her love of the creepy and weird on a childhood diet of Point Horror, Agatha Christie and Dr Who. She writes about characters who aren’t afraid to fight back, but wouldn’t last 5 minutes in one of her own stories.
She lives in Oxford, England. You can find out more about Kathryn and her books on her website. Twitter: @KathrynFoxfield Add Tag, You're Dead to your TBR
Maya MacGregor is an author, singer, and artist based in Glasgow, Scotland. A fluent Gaelic speaker, Maya is active in many community activities in Gaelic music as well as writing contemporary YA and adult fantasy (as Emmie Mears and M Evan MacGriogair). Maya has a degree in history and is passionate about writing the stories for teens they wish had existed when they were younger and fills them with the type of people who have always populated their world. Their pronouns are they/them.
You can find out more about Maya and their books on their website. Twitter: @Maigheach Add The Many Half-Lived Lives of Sam Sylvester to your TBR Meet Maya MacGregor:
