Explaining History (explaininghistory) (explaininghistory)

In the 1850s a medical revolution was beginning with the discovery of anaesthesia and a political and social revolution was still in its infancy in the guise of the embryonic suffrage movement that would emerge in earnest over a half a century later. In their latest novel together under the pen name Ambrose Parry, Christopher Brookmyre and Marisa Haetzman explore the world of prostitution, blackmail from the perspective of their medical heroes Sarah Fisher and Will Raven in the fifth Fisher and Raven novel The Death of Shame. Today we talked about Victorian morality, sexual repression, class, the treatment of young women in service and the development of medicine in the mid 19th Century.*****STOP PRESS*****I only ever talk about history on this podcast but I also have another life, yes, that of aspirant fantasy author and if that's your thing you can get a copy of my debut novel The Blood of Tharta, right here:Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.

From Bloody Scotland Crime Writing Festival in Stirling. Richard Armitage's CV is already packed with roles, including a string of stellar acting credits in the likes of The Hobbit, North and South, Robin Hood, and Spooks. Now he's added author to the list with his debut novel Geneva. Ambrose Parry is not one writer but two – it's the penname of internationally bestselling and multi-award-winning Chris Brookmyre and consultant anaesthetist of twenty years' experience, Dr Marisa Haetzman. The married couple write books inspired by the gory details Marisa uncovered during her History of Medicine degree. One of the writers on this year's Bloody Scotland Scottish Crime Debut of the Year shortlist is Suzy Aspley. She started her writing career at the festival when she won its Pitch Perfect competition, and released her spooky novel Crow Moon earlier this year.

For the latest Scots Whay Hae! Podcast Ali spoke to crime writer Christopher Brookmyre to hear all about his intriguing new novel The Cracked Mirror, published on the Abacus imprint of Little, Brown Book Group. In an attempt to avoid all spoilers, Ali asks Chris to take the responsibility of describing the book, before talking about how he approached writing it, the specific inspirations behind it, the importance of respecting genres, creating his central characters, having a quote from Afghan Whig's song 'Debonair' as the epigraph (and the one that got away), the importance of place, and the inspirational tweet that began it all. He also tells us how collaborating with his wife Marisa Haetzman for the Ambrose Parry books changed his approach to writing more generally, the importance of planning, the challenges presented by historical fiction, and writing as a partnership. The two also discuss the impact of his debut novel Quite Ugly One Morning, and how its influence has endured, as well as the changes in the world of Scottish crime writing since its publication and the impact of the Bloody Scotland Festival and the crime community more generally. It's a podcast not only for fans of Chris Brookmyre (or Ambrose Parry), or even crime aficionados, but anyone interested in all things bookish as one of Scotland's most celebrated writers talks at length about his work and much more.

Donna Freed meets Marisa Haetsman, one half of the husband-wife writing partnership, Ambrose Parry, authors of a series of medical murder mysteries set in Victorian Edinburgh. Marisa sets the scene for the latest, Voices of the Dead, which takes place in 1853 when Edinburgh while still sceptical of medical men in the wake of the Burke and Hare murders is experiencing a resurgence in interest in mesmerism and chloroform has just been as an early anaesthetic for use in childbirth.  Former Consultant Anaesthetist, Marisa made a mid-life decision to study the history of medicine. She discovered tales of medical hijinks so wild that her husband, best-selling crime writer Chris Brookmyre, suggested that they join forces and exploit the rich possibilities of invention and murder in the Victorian Age.  @Radio_Gorgeous @ambroseparry @canongatebooks #VoicesoftheDead
