Corine Hartman

Voor zover Corine Hartman (1964, Den Haag) zich herinnert, heeft haar passie voor woord en beeld, voor schrijven en tekenen, altijd bestaan. Verhalen verzinnen was één van haar favoriete bezigheden en al snel las ze alles wat los en vast zat, waaronder de boeken van Agatha Christie. George Orwells 1984 maakte grote indruk, evenals de verhalen van Edgar Allan Poe.

V.L. Adams

I recently published my first novel, The Source of Smoke. It's a mystery about a possible wrongful conviction - inspired by my own work in wrongful conviction education.

I'm always reading at least one book (I usually get through around 100 a year). While I love mysteries, I also love romance and fantasy.

I'm obsessed with Harry Potter, true crime podcasts and documentaries, and food.
