    True Crime podcasts, teaching and the changing notions of identity: Kate McCaffrey

    True Crime podcasts, teaching and the changing notions of identity: Kate McCaffrey

    Kate McCaffrey is an acclaimed author of young adult fiction and now she’s written her first adult novel. 
    DOUBLE LIVES is a story within a story following Amy, Journalist trying to establish herself in Western Australia again after time away working in Melbourne. 
    Amy has the idea to do a podcast and the season one case she focuses on is the murder of young transgender woman Casey Williams. 
    Upon arrest, Casey’s boyfriend Jonah Scott confessed to her murder immediately and pleaded guilty. But Amy thinks there’s more behind this shocking crime and delves into the cult run by Jonah’s family and its potential involvement in Casey’s murder. 
    The story explores identity, truth and acceptance in a compelling way. It’s my first time reading Kate’s work and I’ll be reading her young adult books, which have been on secondary school reading lists for a number of years.

    Mum had a stalker and it inspired my debut crime novel: Greg Woodland

    Mum had a stalker and it inspired my debut crime novel: Greg Woodland

    Greg Woodland is a scriptwriter, director and once upon a time…an aspiring punk rocker. After a number of his script projects, including one picked up by Disney, didn’t make it to production he turned to crime fiction to tell his stories. His debut THE NIGHT WHISTLER, dubbed a rural gothic noir, was actually adapted from a script he’d written and inspired in part from a real life crime his mum endured.
    His second book THE CARNIVAL IS OVER has a few characters carry over from The Night Whistler…and is set in the same fictionalised town in NSW’s New England region.

    The brief on turning my legal experience into fiction: Alexandra Shapiro

    The brief on turning my legal experience into fiction: Alexandra Shapiro

    Alexandra Shapiro is a New York criminal defence attorney and one of the leading appeals lawyers in the United States. Early in her legal career Alexandra was a clerk for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, when the iconic legal figure had just started on the Supreme Court. Alexandra was a federal prosecutor in Manhattan before starting her own firm. She  has a particular focus on the defence of criminal insider trading cases…these are complex cases where she says sometimes people can unwittingly find themselves charged with really serious crimes…
    While she’s deep in the work of true life crime every day, Alexandra has turned to writing fiction as a way to shed light on how the criminal justice system works…and its failings. Her debut legal crime thriller is called PRESUMED GUILTY.
