As we head into another frigid  Canadian winter we bring you a podcast about a series that is set and shot in the hottest part of Australia. The series is called Troppo, a term used in north Queensland that means going mad from the heat. Troppo is based on the best selling novel from Candice Fox titled Crimson Lake and it is about a disgraced American ex-cop played by Thomas Jane (HBO's Hung) hired to help an Australian  private investigator. They are teamed together on murder cases in far north Queensland.The actress playing the PI is Nicole Chamoun and we reached her half way around the world this week in Australia via a zoom call.  Seasons One and Two of Troppo are streaming now in Canada on Super Channel. 

Stars Thomas Jane (Boogie Nights) and Nicole Chamoun (Safe Harbour) are back in the fictional rural town of Crimson Lake, in the tropical North of Australia, where another bizarre murder has taken place. Six months after Ted Conkaffey (Jane) and Amanda Pharrell (Chamoun) solved their first murder case, the unlikely duo is now investigating the bizarre local murder of a healing retreat leader with connections to an exotic drug ring and a ‘bikie' gang. While Amanda tangles with an old enemy and finds a new love interest, Ted's past stalks him and his family to Crimson Lake - with deadly consequences. Adapted for television by Yolanda Ramke, Troppo is based on the Crimson Lake books, a contemporary crime series set in Queensland, Australia, written by #1 New York Times best-selling author Candice Fox. Season two of Troppo is inspired by the second book in the series, Redemption Point.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

For years the firefighters of New York's Engine 99 have rushed fearlessly into hot zones, saving countless lives and stopping devastating blazes in their tracks. They've also stolen millions from banks, jewellery stores and art galleries. With their inside knowledge and specialist equipment, they've become the most successful heist crew on the East Coast.Their newest member, Andrea ‘Andy' Nearland, is not what she seems either. She's an undercover operative, hunting the men of Engine 99 for a host of crimes – including the murder of an off-duty cop and the disappearance of a mother and child. As the clock counts down to the gang's most daring heist yet, loyalties begin to fray and mistrust boils over. Andy's career is all smoke and mirrors, but infiltrating this crew of ‘heroes' might prove to be her most dangerous job of all .In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Candice Fox about the challenges of setting her latest crime thriller in the ultimate setting of New York's legendary boroughs of crime, why the opening pages of a heist caper are so important, and why perfectly harmonious criminal gangs are boring.

Exclusive to Forgotten Australia listeners, this episode comprises the first 20 pages of The Murder Squad, my new book about homicide investigation in Sydney and NSW during the worst years of the Great Depression. We start with Detective-Sergeant Tom McRae in Albury in September 1934 as he investigates the Pyjama Girl, before flashing back to the triple tragedies he endured in his early life and as he started his rise through the ranks.Check out The Murder Squad's awesome cover:https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-murder-squad-michael-adams/book/9781922863836.htmlHere's what some very nice folks have been saying about The Murder Squad:‘The Murder Squad is a cracking decade-long history of crazed killers and cunning cops – a triumph of true crime storytelling backed by exhaustive research.' – Stephen Gibbs, Daily Mail‘Michael Adams has that rare ability to drop the reader right in the heart of the action. He gives such precise and evocative detail that the reader can almost see, hear and smell each crime scene. Murder Squad is a riveting read, bringing Australia's Great Depression era to life through a series of cracking true crime stories starring the ingenious Sydney detective Tom McRae.' – Jen Kelly, Herald Sun, In Black & White column and podcast‘Michael Adams takes you on a tense journey into Sydney's historical badlands. Compelling, rich and meticulous: this is Australian true crime at its very best.' – Candice Fox, author of Fire With Fire, The Chase and Crimson Lake‘Michael Adams is a master true crime storyteller. His mastery is firstly, in digging out intriguing historical crimes – many of which have long been forgotten – and secondly, in recounting them in the most compelling way. The Human Glove Mystery, The Pyjama Girl and The Park Demon all get the Michael Adams treatment, but so too the stories that didn't attract the sensational headlines, but are no less intriguing. And all of it against a backdrop of historic Australia and the men of the Murder Squad who hunted out the killers and tried to bring them to justice. So thoroughly researched, this is the ultimate reference for true crime in Australia during the depression years.' – Mercedes Maguire, The Daily Telegraph Hosted on Acast.

Katherine Kovacic and Dani Vee - Seven Sisters Men get away with murder all the time. Now it's our turn ... A twisty, intriguing crime novel for fans of The Mother and The Family Doctor. Naomi started grief counselling prepared to run for cover as soon as her therapist, Mia, pulled out a crystal or tried to align her chakras. When Mia suggests that she join a support group, Naomi is sceptical: how could she begin to describe what it felt like to lose her sister, Jo? How could she possibly share her loss and rage to a room full of people? How could she express her helplessness that Jo's killer walks free on a suspended sentence? And how could she share her deepest desire to see Jo's killer dead by her hand? In the group sessions, Naomi finds that her experiences and her anger are shared between the other members: Gabrielle, Brooke, Katy, Olivia and Amy. Under the enigmatic leadership of Mia, a plan begins to take shape. I'll kill yours if you kill mine ... 'A love letter to Hitchcock and Highsmith, fuelled by women's rage. Once you start you won't be able to stop.' Hayley Scrivenor 'An intense, page-turning psychological thriller that ... grips the reader with two-handed fury. Perfect for fans of Patricia Highsmith, Candice Fox and Jacqueline Bublitz, Seven Sisters will have you questioning your idea of justice and how far you would go to help others -- including taking an eye for an eye.' Books + Publishing 'A cracking thriller that I could not put down for a second ... This is a chilling, compelling, and completely addictive descent down the rabbit hole.' Dinuka McKenzie 'Compelling reading! Seven Sisters is the ultimate fightback novel.' Vikki Petraitis '[This] taut, morally ambiguous thriller ... measures out a precise cocktail of parable and revenge fantasy' Sydney Morning Herald

The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: voicesoftoday.net/when When You Find Me By Melissa Pouliot Narrated by Elizabeth Chambers "Going missing is not a crime, except when it is." As Australia leaves behind the 1980s and enters a new decade, more and more people are going missing, every hour, every day. Sydney teenage runaway Keely is still missing. Queensland cowboy Toby is still missing. Brian, the quiet baker married to his childhood sweetheart with five children, goes missing after a rampage in his suburban inner Sydney home. Beautiful Ayala Philips, the mother of four who has it all, has evil thoughts about her husband Clive then disappears in the vast Australian outback without a trace. Drawn to the missing, new recruit on the beat at Kings Cross in Sydney, Rhiannon McVee, is determined to be the one to find them. But she is the odd one out in her quest for the missing, while she navigates her way around a corrupt inner Sydney culture to get into the Detective's unit. As tragedy after tragedy unfolds on the job, Rhiannon must face her own personal tragedy, before she loses the love of her life, Mac, and becomes lost to herself. And if Rhiannon disappears, who will find the missing? This gripping crime mystery with a delicate touch of outback romance, is by bestselling Australian author Melissa Pouliot, whose fiction writing is inspired by her own personal missing persons tragedy. If you love Australian crime authors like Jane Harper who wrote "The Dry", Candice Fox who wrote "Troppo" and Chris Hammer who wrote "Silver" you'll love the Detective Rhiannon McVee crime mystery series. It's also a great listen for people who like cowboy romance stories by authors like Fleur McDonald and Nora Roberts.

“Libraries are all about the stories they contain.” Catherine du Peloux Menage Earlier this year Lismore Library was devastated by the horrendous floods, after having just rebuilt and recovered from the floods of the previous year. Moved by an image of hundreds of books being thrown out of the windows of Lismore Library, BAD Sydney Crime decided to help by putting on an event with Candice Fox, Chris Hammer and Michael Robotham, moderated by Kate Evans from ABC's “The Bookshelf." The event raised $16,000 for the Library and this episode is a recording of that event. Lismore Library are still in need of support.

Candice Fox is an international best selling crime novelist who began collaborating with the world's greatest writer James Patterson. Their first novel together, Never Never, went straight to #1 on the NY Times bestseller list and topped the UK charts. Candice has spent her life around prisons and has always been fascinated with true crime once interviewing an unrestrained convicted serial killer in Saint Quentin enclosed in a perspex box. This is her story. The moment when Candice believed she was a writer and not just writing. Why did Candice actually count how many rejection letters she received? Candice has always been an intense dreamer, easily distracted, yet can detach easily. Was that her Superpower? How does the 'where' inform our identity and our creativity? Does Candice have rituals and routines around her writing? What has Candice noticed to be her spark for creativity? When in Saint Quentin in front of a serial killer how did Candice listen like a writer? What did the killer not do that surprised Candice? Did her parole officer father ever have to deal with the darkness he saw day after day? What is the greatest self doubt Candice has to manage? How did that intersection with James Patterson change her identity? Patterson is a very efficient writer. What was it like to work with such an efficient person? Patterson has his own brand and knows it's a Patterson book. How did Candice fit with the Patterson brand? 'Comparisonitis' with other great writers like Lee Child, James Patterson, Michael Connolly. Patterson said "If you are blocked you have not done enough research." What is the Candice process for research? Does Candice you ever see herself in her writing and does it help her understand her own backstory? After writing 30,000 words for the novel Gathering Dark, Candice throws away all 30,000 words to start over. Why? Dinner with Bill Clinton and James Patterson. Why did Candice believe she deserved a seat the table?   LINKS   Candice Fox official website https://www.candicefox.org   The Chase on Booktopia https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-chase-candice-fox/book/9781760896799.html   The Mojo Sessions website https://www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions?fan_landing=true   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions/   Gary on Linked in https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle-helping-unlock-great-ideas-b5182011/   Gary on Twitter https://twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/themojosessions/   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/themojosessions/   © 2021 Gary Bertwistle.  All Rights Reserved.

I first met Candice at a writer's festival in 2019 and was struck by how generous she was with her experiences as a writer which, of course, is exactly the kind of writer I want to bring to your ears on this podcast. Candice is knowledgeable on the craft of writing, yes, but she also has the best stories. We chatted more about the craft behind her writing but after this, go and have a listen to some of the stories of her very unusual childhood and her experiences, as a writer, interviewing serial killers. If you go to the About page on her website candicefox.org and scroll to the bottom, you'll find a link to her conversation with Richard Fidler which is absolutely fascinating.In this interview, Candice took me behind the scenes of The Chase. We talked about her drafting and editing processes, how she pitched the idea to her publisher, how she structured the novel with an A and B plot and multiple vignettes, the techniques she uses to make the reader care about the characters, how she goes about creating and maintaining tension, and so much moreThis is another hour-long interview. I think we just need to accept that this podcast has hour-long episodes and I'm okay with that. Hope you are too. That's the beauty of podcasts isn't it - you can break it up if you like or just binge the whole thing on a really long walk.Remember there can be spoilers in this podcast, although we don't reveal any of the big ones in this episode, but if you hate knowing anything about a book before you've read it, you can buy a copy of The Chase in all the usual places.ABOUT CANDICE FOXCandice Fox's first novel, Hades, won the Ned Kelly Award for best debut in 2014 from the Australian Crime Writers Association. The sequel, Eden, won the Ned Kelly Award for best crime novel in 2015, making Candice only the second author to win these accolades back to back. Her subsequent novels – Fall, Crimson Lake, Redemption Point and Gone by Midnight – were all shortlisted for the Ned Kelly Award. In 2015 Candice began collaborating with James Patterson. Their first novel together, Never Never, set in the Australian outback, was a huge bestseller in Australia and went straight to number one on the New York Times bestseller list in the US, and also to the top of the charts in the UK. Their later novels – Fifty Fifty, Liar Liar, Hush Hush and The Inn – have all been massive bestsellers across the world. Not bad for a chick from Bankstown, where Candice was born and bred. To top it all off, Candice has two undergraduate and two postgraduate degrees.In other words she's the perfect person to teach us one or two things about writing.Website - https://www.candicefox.org/Follow Candice on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.Shownotes are available at https://www.writersbookclubpodcast.com
