...and I'm being interviewed at her blog today http://pamkelt.blogspot.co.uk/
Just another day in the newsroom?
Hardly.
It is October
1987.
Clare Forester is
an overworked and under-appreciated features subeditor on a provincial paper in
Somerset. She
spends her time cheerfully ranting about her teenage daughter, the reclusive
lodger, her spiteful mother, the Thatcher government, new technology, grubby
journalists, petty union officials, her charming ex – and just about anything else
that crosses her path.
If things aren’t turbulent
enough, on the night of Thursday, October 15th, the Great Storm sweeps across Britain,
cutting a swathe of destruction across the country.
Things turn
chaotic. Pushed to breaking point, Clare finally snaps and loses her temper
with gale-force fury – with disastrous results.
As she contemplates
the chaos that her life has become, Clare soon comes to a bitter conclusion.
Never trust the
past.
IT LIES.
About Pamela Kelt:
Pamela Kelt first
managed to avoid any semblance of the day job by taking Spanish at the University of Manchester. On completion of the degree
and after a subsequent six brain-fogging months on a local paper, she fled to Oxford and completed her
M. Litt. thesis on ‘Comic aspects of satirical 17th-century comic interludes’,
which was not only much more fun, but strangely relevant to coping with the
vagaries of the 21st century. After becoming a technical translator, she
discovered that English was easier, and did copywriting for anyone who would
pay. On a stint in Australia,
she landed a job as a subeditor and returned to journalism, relishing the
chance to come up with funny headlines in a variety of provincial papers. Ah.
Once a pun a time.
As her academic
husband became a chemistry professor in something even she can’t spell, Pam
moved into the more sensible world of educational magazines and online
publishing – for a while, at least. A daughter arrived and reintroduced her to
the delights of fiction, which she’d sort of forgotten about. So, one fine day,
while walking the dogs at a local beauty spot, thinking ‘to hell with a
career’, Pam took the plunge into writing for herself, and is now the author of
six books to date, including In addition retro mystery in the form of Tomorrow’s Anecdote, with
Crooked Cat. Out on 21 June is historical mystery Dark Interlude (MuseItUp), to
be followed by The
Lost Orchid (Bluewood Publishing); ‘film noir’ thriller Half Life (MuseItUp) co-written
with aforementioned prof, is released in August. Two YA fantasies follow in the
autumn: Ice Trekker and The Cloud Pearl (part one of
Legends of Liria), both with MuseYA.

ReplyDeletein spanish 2010 was an extraordinary Q1. He also blamed uncertainty
over payments to people installing renewable in spanish heat systems, including
the power, road and energy sectors that will eventually dwindle, and clearly are not
a guarantee of performance.
