Book Club - July 11th Meet The Author of Wilderness

Hi,

I have arranged on behalf of @Karen_E for our next Book Club Zoom meet-up for July 11th 7pm BST, 2pm EST, 11am PDT with the author of Wilderness, Beverley Jones.

Soon to be a major TV series starring Jenna Coleman!

This is how Amazon describes her…

Beverley Jones is a former journalist and police press officer, now a novelist and general book obsessive.

Bev was born in a small village in the South Wales valleys, north of Cardiff. She started her journalism career with Trinity Mirror newspapers, writing stories for The Rhondda Leader and The Western Mail, before becoming a broadcast journalist with BBC Wales Today TV news, based in Cardiff.

She has worked on all aspects of crime reporting (as well as community news and features) producing stories and content for newspapers and live TV.

Most recently Bev worked as a press officer for South Wales Police, dealing with the media and participating in criminal investigations, security operations and emergency planning.

Perhaps unsurprisingly she channels these experiences of ‘true crime,’ and her insight into the murkier side of human nature, into her dark, psychological thrillers set in and around South Wales.

Her latest novels, Where She Went, Halfway and Wilderness, are published by Little Brown under the name BE Jones. Wilderness has recently been optioned for a six part TV adaptation by Firebird Pictures.

This is how Amazon describes Wilderness

LOVE CAN HURT. BETRAYAL CAN KILL.

Shattered by the discovery of her husband’s affair, Liv knows they need to leave the chaos of New York to save their marriage. Maybe the road trip they’d always planned, exploring America’s national parks - just the two of them - would help heal the wounds.

But what Liv hasn’t told her husband is that she has set him three challenges on their trip - three opportunities to prove he’s really sorry.

If he fails? Well, it’s dangerous out there in the wilderness; accidents happen all the time.

And if it’s easy to die, then it’s also easy to kill.

If anyone is interested in attending via Zoom please reply on here so we can estimate numbers.

Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

Thank you :blush:
