SHEILA BUGLER - CANELO CRIME Special - In Person With Paul

SHEILA BUGLER chats to Paul Burke about BLACK VALLEY FARM, why writing is torture but she loves it, getting it down on the page and avoiding writers block, being mentored by Martin Waites and writing about Ireland, (the next novel).

BLACK VALLEY FARM
The truth could ruin everything. A decade ago, the bodies of nine people were discovered at Black Valley Farm. The only suspect vanished without a trace. Clare has spent ten years living a lie, but a new podcast on the murders threatens to bring her carefully built life crashing down.  Because someone else has listened to the podcast.Someone who knows Clare is lying, and who will stop at nothing to ensure the truth never comes to light.

SHEILA BUGLER grew up in a small town in the west of Ireland. After studying Psychology at University College Galway (now called NUI Galway) she left Ireland and worked as an EFL teacher, travelling to Italy, Spain, Germany, Holland and Argentina. She is the author of a series of crime novels featuring DI Ellen Kelly. The novels are set in South East London, an area she knows and loves. She now lives in Eastbourne, on the beautiful East Sussex coast. Eastbourne is the location for her series of crime novels featuring investigative journalist Dee Doran. When she’s not writing, Sheila does corporate writing and storytelling, she runs creative writing courses, is a tutor for the Writers Bureau and is a mentor on the WoMentoring programme. She reviews crime fiction for crimesquad.com and she is a regular guest on BBC Radio Sussex. She is married with two children. Black Valley Farm is her new novel.
