One Step Ahead – C.L. Peache
Set against the dramatic backdrop of Jersey, this twist-filled story follows a group of friends reunited for a charity walk—only to be confronted by the unresolved death of one of their own.
In conversation with fellow author Maria Dziedzan, Clair will share her journey from self-published writer to securing a three-book publishing deal, and reflect on writing across genres, crafting layered characters, and the challenges (and joys!) of working from her narrowboat.
Expect a lively and insightful discussion about how place, memory, and mystery weave together in her work, as well as behind-the-scenes stories of what it takes to bring a suspenseful novel like One Step Ahead to life.
Perfect for lovers of psychological thrillers, gripping whodunnits, and those curious about the writing and publishing process, this free event is a wonderful opportunity to meet a rising name in mystery fiction.
Book signing to follow – copies of One Step Ahead available to purchase on the day. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this page-turning conversation at Newark Book Festival.
