Writer Superpowers (specialist subjects): Fiona is an engaging speaker who has covered some of the major news events of the last two decades as well as offering an amusing insight into life as a celebrity reporter. She is perfectly placed to talk about the transition from tabloid journalism to fiction (some may claim it’s a fine line!) as well as strong female characters and the role of family in crime novels. She is interested in the media’s portrayal of crime, forensic research and how the events of our own lives shape our writing.
