Every week I check in with one of Australia’s favourite authors to bring you their latest news, and this week I’m delighted to welcome brilliant crime-writer @sarah_bailey_author !
ABOUT SARAH: Sarah Bailey is a Melbourne-based writer with a background in advertising and communications. She has three sons and is currently the Managing Director of the Melbourne and Sydney offices of advertising agency VML. Her internationally award-winning Gemma Woodstock series includes The Dark Lake, published in 2017 and winner of the Ned Kelly Award for Best First Fiction and the Davitt Award for Best Debut, followed by Into the Night in 2018, and Where the Dead Go in 2019. Her new release Body of Lies is the fourth book in the series. Sarah has also published the bestselling The Housemate and Audible Original Final Act in 2021.
So, Sarah, tell us what you are…
READING: I’ve just finished an advance copy of The Last Trace by Petronella McGovern. She’s written another clever twisty read!
WATCHING: I just finished the latest season of True Detective. I enjoyed it but didn’t love it. I’ve struggled to get into a show lately so open to any recommendations!
LISTENING TO: I listen to approximately one million podcasts every week. A few favourites are The Drop, Uncomfortable Conversations with Josh Szeps, Armchair Expert, Big Small Talk, Can We Be Real and Vanity Fair’s podcast Little Gold Men. I’m also listening to Megan Rogers’ The Heart is a Star as an audiobook.
THINKING ABOUT: The unthinkable horror the people in Gaza are facing and what it says about us and the way our world works that something like this can happen in 2024.
WORKING ON: I am back at work after ten months of parental leave so am working on a few projects and easing myself back into the cut and thrust of advertising agency life. I’m also (slowly) working on a new book, a sequel to my previous novel, The Housemate.
