Silver Sleuths Author Panel
About
Silver Sleuths in the Golden Age of CrimeIs it ever too late to turn to a life of crime (writing)? Agatha Christie was still plotting murders in her eighties, and today, plenty of authors are proving age is no alibi. At this year's Port Phillip Seniors’ Festival, four Sisters in Crime will explore the challenges and joys experienced by older authors.
After thirty-five years as a teacher-librarian, Laraine Stephens swapped sensible shoes for 1920s Melbourne gangsters in her Reggie da Costa Mysteries. Janice Simpson biked to Istanbul and pedaled straight into crime writing with her latest, Double Fault. Katrina Watson, once a doctor, now prescribes deadly mysteries like The Bones and award-winning short stories. And host Amanda Hampson found bestseller success at 50 with The Tea Ladies and its murderous sequels.
Together, they’ll prove that crime pays—especially for late bloomers.
Join us at 5.30pm for a 6.00pm start.
