Ann Parker is the award-winning author of the Silver Rush mystery series set in 19th century Colorado. And yes, that is Silver Rush as distinct from the possibly more well known Gold Rush. Hi there I'm your host, Jenny Wheeler and today Ann talks about how a close family relationship led to her writing the Colorado based Silver Rush series, how she's combined being a science writer by day with being a fiction writer by night, and why she says being a science writer has been a big advantage in writing the series.

Introducing historical mystery author Ann Parker Jenny Wheeler: Hello there Ann, and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us. Ann Parker - Historical mystery author of Silver Rush Colorado series Ann Parker: Oh, and it's so great to be here. Thank you, Jenny. Jenny Wheeler: Now just to get our geography straight before we begin. You are in Northern California and I'm in New Zealand and we're about 16 hours apart. I'm right about Northern California, am I? Ann Parker: That's correct. Yep. About 50 miles away from San Francisco. Most people know of San Francisco, so yeah. Jenny Wheeler: That's not that far. I must assume that I have driven up that Captain Cook Highway in the part in the past. Ann Parker: Oh, Captain Cook Highway? I don't know what that is.. Jenny Wheeler: Oh, I thought that it was the Coastal Road. I thought it was called Captain Cook Highway. Maybe I've got that wrong. Ann Parker: oh. You could, I think you're talking highway 1 0 1, but in any case along the coast, it's beautiful. Yeah. Jenny Wheeler: It's gorgeous. You are an award-winning writer with eight books to your credit and they're called the Silver Rush Mystery Series, and they're set initially in Leadville, Colorado, although the most recent book, which we're going to be talking about today, you've moved to San Francisco.

“Things like structural edits, what the characters do, that's really the choice of the writer,” quips Sulari Gentill, while discussing communications with the devoted fan base of her Rowland Sinclair series, and her new stand-alone literary mystery, THE WOMAN IN THE LIBRARY. All the way from Australia, the author chats with Olivia in the Arizona podcast studio before meeting her readers and leading writing workshops at The Poisoned Pen Bookstore in Scottsdale. Sulari talks about playing with genre and the blurring of fact and fiction, with her novel about a novel, written by protagonist Hannah, whose early draft THE WOMAN IN THE LIBRARY READER is spending most of our time with. THE WOMAN IN THE LIBRARY is now available in paperback from Sourcebooks, hardcover from Poisoned Pen Press, and as an audiobook by Dreamscape Media.

Australian women crime writers are some of the biggest names on the Australian literary scene at the moment. And Sulari Gentill is one of them. Former lawyer turned writer, Sulari is the author of 10 novels in the Rowland Sinclair Mysteries (a series of historical crime novels set in the 1930s) along with a fantasy series and a few stand-alone novels. Sulari's work has been shortlisted for a number of prestigious awards. Her novel 'A Decline in Prophets' (a Rowland Sinclair mystery) won the Davitt Award for Best Crime Fiction in 2012 and 'Crossing the Lines' (a stand alone) won a Ned Kelly in 2018. This year Sulari is back with another stand alone. 'Woman in the Library' (published by Ultimo Press), is a clever, twisty and gripping novel that will have you glued to its pages. I was thrilled to have the chance to speak with Sulari earlier this year.

We discuss chapters 25-34 of Sulari Gentill's 'The Woman in the Library', her second standalone metafictional mystery. We're also joined by Dani Vee from Words and Nerds, to join Herds in the battle for points. In Hannah's world, Leo's messages grow more and more erratic, until eventually international travel returns, and he makes his way to Sydney to finally meet his favourite federal agency. In Freddie's world, it's about time for our moustache-twirling villain to be unveiled, but it seems even they don't have all the answers.We're once again joined by Sulari to dive into why Leo's worst crime isn't murder.Thanks to Ultimo Press for copies of the book, and for arranging our time with Sulari!

We discuss chapters 12-24 of Sulari Gentill's 'The Woman in the Library', her second standalone metafictional mystery. We're also joined by Dani Vee from Words and Nerds, to join herds in the hotseat as we scale the mountain of realities facing us as writers write writers writing writers. In Freddie's reality, she struggles with her feelings for Cain as increasingly dark facets of his past emerge, making the aftermath of Whit's injury and Marigold's bizarre fascinations even more difficult to stomach. In Hannah's world, Letters From Leo have taken an even darker turn, a humble correspondence seemingly gone horribly wrong.And in Sulari's world, two schmucks sit down across a table to grill her about every which decision, and still can't seem to take a bloody hint.Thanks to Ultimo Press for copies of the book, and for arranging our time with Sulari!

We discuss chapters 1-11 of Sulari Gentill's 'The Woman in the Library', her second standalone metafictional crime extravaganza. Australian author Hannah Tigone is writing her next bestseller novel, about Winifred 'Freddie' Kincaid writing her debut novel, about another writer writing their debut novel. We follow Hannah's drafts, and the accompanying emails from an enthusiastic fan, Leo, who has volunteered himself to help Hannah make his home town of Boston more realistic. Freddie's world has four writers who meet after a blood-curdling shriek is let out in the Boston Public Library, and they become fast friends as they attempt to solve the ensuing mysteries as it seems the suspicions of the police close in on them.Herds is in the hotseat, and all professional neutrality is out the window, as two Sulari Gentill fanboys ignore all the warning signs that Leo's insufferability reflects poorly on them.Thanks to Ultimo Press for early copies of the book.

As we're welcoming Danny to brekkie it got me feeling little nostalgic about Book Clubs involvement with the Breakfast Show. It's a history that extends back about six years Way back when Nic Healey was hosting he brought me along from our regular weekend book chats and Tuesday book club was born. Now like some sort of community radio time lord we've had multiple regenerations from Tess, to Alex and Willy bringing us to Danny.So in honour of my nostalgia I'm going to look back in order to look forward.One of my favourite Australian authors, Sulari Gentill has a new book out. Sulari is well known and loved for her Rowland Sinclair mysteries, set in 1930's Australia. Her new novel however is a stand alone. It's called The Woman in the Library and promises to be a real page turning whodunnit.I have read it though… SorryBut a few years back Sulari released another stand alone page turner that absolutely knocked me out with its clever ideas and mind bending twists. And so, until I can get you the latest Sulari Gentill, The Woman in the Library, I'm going to offer up my thoughts on her 2017 novel Crossing the Lines.Madeleine D'Leon is a crime novelist searching for her next big mystery to write. Ned McGinnity is a literary enfant terrible waiting for his muse to strike.Madeleine is intrigued by the voice in her head, could it be her next Detective? He's a novelist, arrogant, the type who would only write so-called serious literature. Only he's got himself embroiled in a murder, the sort he would never deem to write but one that he must solve in order to save his friend. Ned doesn't do genre, wouldn't stoop to conquer until he stumbles on the almost too delicious temptation of writing a protagonist crime author becoming embroiled in a mystery. Crossing the Lines unravels through entwined chapters of Madeleine and Ned writing each other's stories and slowly sinking deeper into the pull of the mystery. Ned is beset by danger from every quarter as he races to solve the mystery of the editor and critic, a man who destroyed his first novel. Madeleine is vexed by the possibility that she may be losing her mind.In Crossing the Lines, Sulari Gentill asks and tantalizingly hints at many a reader's questions about the writer's creative process. Madeleine and Ned are the voices in each others heads and both need each other to finish the story. They must give themselves over to the story and only through visiting this other life can they get their words onto the page. Often when I speak to authors they tell of characters that occupy their own space in the world. Crossing the Lines challenges the reader with the horrifying possibility that this voice may take on a life of its own.It's a special thing to be able to delve into the writing process and I can only imagine what it must be to find yourself in the middle of it; becoming a vessel for the action to be transferred to the page. The reader may well find themselves asking is Sulari fully in control of her creation?!Between Madeleine, Sulari and Ned we see not only a crossing of lines but a blurring as reality infuses itself with the narrative and the mystery becomes more intense for being written as we read it.Crossing the lines is a smart, edgy psychological thriller. It's also a literary romp perfect for people who love their reading a little bit meta. Today's book club was an encore jazzed up with some tidier writing and a bit more audio skill. And isn't that the beauty of books; they invite, nay welcome revisiting, always offering something new…Once again welcome Danny.If you want to revisit more books clubs they are available on the Final Draft podcastBook Club is produced and presented by Andrew PopleWant more great conversations with Australian authors?Discover this and many more conversations on Final Draft every week from 2ser.Get in touch with Andrew and Final Draft.

In case you missed it, we had a lovely long chat with Sulari Gentill as part of our recent episodes on her award-winning 'Crossing the Lines', also known as 'After She Wrote Him'. From the book's writing, to its publishing and reception, we do our best to cover it all! Listen in to hear our full discussion including more reality-bending, sausage-roll-logistics, and more!

We discuss chapters 20-24 of Sulari Gentill's 'Crossing the Lines'. Ned and Maddie's spiral into madness approaches its crescendo as their relationships with the people around them start to crumble. Maddie's relationship with her husband begins to collapse after Ned writes him potentially having an affair, and Ned's relationship with Willow dissolves as it becomes clear what the truth is behind the murder of Geoffrey Vogel is. Is there any way back from the abyss?We're joined one again by Sulari Gentill to talk about the maddening details that nearly sent us spiraling into that same abyss as we read the book, and we finally try figure out what 'pantsing' actually is.

We discuss chapters 9-19 of Sulari Gentill's 'Crossing the Lines'. As the two writers slowly pull each other closer, the lines between reality are blurred, and things go a little off the rails. Madeleine and Edward begin to crave one another, at the expense of the people around them. When they're in control of each other's lives, is there any way they can pull away before it's all too late?We're also joined by Tim Ayliffe, author of the John Bailey thriller series, to talk about the latest entry in the series, 'The Enemy Within', the true events and fears it draws from, as well as the importance of a strong counterpart to your protagonist.

We discuss chapters 1-8 of Sulari Gentill's 'Crossing the Lines'. Nobody saw the writer do it, but you're about to. Edward McGinnity has come up with this wonderful new character, crime fiction writer Madeleine d'Leon. She's a bit tired of writing her detective serials and wants to do something new, so she's come up with this wonderful new character, Edward McGinnity, a literary author. He's about to write a new tale of the human condition, starring crime fiction writer... I think you get the idea. As their complex tales entwine and bewilder, can you determine who is really writing who?We're joined by Sulari herself to talk about what motivated her to write this book, how she perceives her characters, and the reception this amazing book received upon its release.

Sulari Gentill’s historical crime fiction has attracted fans around the world and won several awards. Her leading man, the charming, witty Rowland Sinclair, is the youngest of the respectable and influential Sinclair family. Rowly is seen as the black sheep among his siblings because he’s an artist. The Rowland Sinclair Mysteries are set in the 1930s, in Sydney and overseas. The first book in the so far 10 book series is A Few Right Thinking Men. I am fascinated about what it must be like to have a fictional character be such an important part of an author’s life and who better to ask that Sulari! ----Your host is Emily WebbEmily is the author of Angels of Death: Doctors and Nurses Who KillThanks to Sulari GentillPurchase A Few Right Thinking Men in our Bookshop Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on Google PodcastsListen on SpotifyThank you for listening!

Sulari Gentill’s Rowland Sinclair series is one of the strongest franchise detectives of the modern day, for our money. The 1930s playboy son of a wool-shearing fortune has travelled the world and made many enemies in Gentill’s many allegories to the looming return of fascism and authoritarianism to our modern day. Coming in second for Review Season 2020 is the ninth entry in the series, All The Tears in China. After his older brother Wilfred sends Rowland to delay a doomed deal with Japanese buyers in Shanghai, Rowland grabs a couple of his closest confidants for what promises to be a relaxing holiday. When Rowland is nearly kidnapped moments after arriving, he realises he’s once again wrapped up in something larger and sets about trying to figure it out.

We discuss chapters 28-39 of All The Tears In China by Sulari Gentill. As Rowland is put to hell and back again by the bloodhound Inspector Randolph over the death of Bertie Middleton, hope of catching the true criminal seems to dwindle. Taking a gruesome look inside a British prison in 1930s Shanghai, will Herd's solution be enough to save Rowland from his grizzly death in the confronting conclusion. We're joined one last time by Sulari herself, talking about how to make an engaging mystery when the answer is implied in the context, and the future of the franchise and some insights on the latest Rowland Sinclair book, A Testament of Character.

We discuss chapters 15-27 of All The Tears In China by Sulari Gentill. As the scale of crime escalates drastically and Rowland finds himself on the receiving end of explosions and high-speed violins. Pressure mounts to cave to business demands from the traders he was sent to delay, Rowland begins to doubt that he'll be capable of carrying out the mission his brother sent him for. With the Police only getting more aggressive, can Rowland solve the crime before the police take him in, and will they even believe his solution? Herds is on the case with the broadest solution we've seen yet on the show. We're also joined by author Sulari Gentill herself to talk about the real criminal underworld of 1930s Shanghai, and the beautiful contradictions that led to the portrayal of the Butler Wing Zau.

We discuss chapters 1-14 of All The Tears in China by Sulari Gentill. Finding himself in political hot water with the Attorney General over his involvement with Egon Kisch on his last adventure, Rowland Sinclair is shipped off to Shanghai by his brother Wilfred to buffer a trade deal while the thread of trade embargoes to their buyers in Japan loom overhead. Seeing the opportunity for a break, Rowland's band of merry communists find themselves in the luxurious Cathay Hotel as they prepare to enjoy the sights and sounds of China. Before Rowland and his cavalcade of Watsons are able to enjoy Shanghai, Sinclair is nearly kidnapped, and a corpse is found unexplained in their hotel room. With an overzealous police inspector on their tail, and a guide with gangsters after him, can Rowland unravel the crime and escape unscathed? We're also joined by Sulari Gentill herself to talk about the importance of historical allegory, her experience in uncovering the culture of 1930s Shanghai, and how it shaped the cultures and characters in this book.
