The most recent Writers at Waterford Libraries event took place on Saturday, September 7th with bestselling crime writer Andrea Mara in conversation with Acting County Librarian, Mary Conway at Central Library on Lady Lane.
Mara, a number one Sunday Times, Irish Times, and Kindle bestselling author spoke about her latest book ‘Someone in The Attic’, which was published earlier this year.
The packed audience was given an insight into Mara’s writing process, a sneak preview of her next book, and Mara also spoke about the thrill of having one of her books, ‘All Her Fault’ made into a TV series. The series, produced by US-streaming service Peacock, will be filmed in Melbourne and star Australian actress Sarah Snook of “Sucession” fame.
Mara’s first book ‘The Other Side of the Wall’ was published by Poolbeg in June 2017, followed by ‘One Click’ in 2018, and her third ‘The Sleeper Lies’ came out in February 2020. ‘All Her Fault’ was published in July 2021, ‘Hide and Seek’, and ‘No One Saw A Thing’ followed, and her latest book ‘Someone in The Attic’ was published by Transworld / Penguin Random House.
Mary Conway, Acting County Librarian, Waterford City and County Council, thanked all those who attended, saying, “This was a hugely insightful event into how a bestselling author consistently creates compelling and gripping contemporary crime fiction. Andrea’s outline of her writing process was also fascinating and one that I’m sure many budding crime-writers will implement.”
