In this exciting episode of our writing community chat show, we sit down with bestselling author Matt Johnson to discuss his journey to becoming a successful writer. From overcoming writer's block to mastering the art of storytelling, Matt shares his insights and experiences that have led to his success. We will be discussing just how, after just two years as a published author, Matt Johnson was voted at #22 in the WH Smith list of all-time best crime writers! Matt's first novel is 2016 John Creasey CWA Dagger listed 'Wicked Game', which was also listed by Amazon UK as the highest-rated rising-star novel of 2016. Following on from the success of this novel, two further books in the series - Deadly Game and End Game - were released in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
Wicked Game and Deadly Game both entered the top 10 Amazon (all books) in both the UK and Australia. Wicked Game as an audiobook peaked at #1.
Matt is a founder member of CRIME CYMRU the Wales Crime Writers collection and is co-chair of Gŵyl Crime Cymru Festival, the very first Crime Literature Festival for Wales, scheduled for April 2022.
Join us as we delve into the world of writing and learn from one of the best in the business. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just starting out, you won't want to miss this interview!
Matts latest novel is set for release in June of 2023, see the blurb below.
No Ordinary Day : Espionage, betrayal, terrorism and corruption - the truth behind the murder of WPC Yvonne Fletcher:
‘An important book, especially now’ Lee Child
‘Espionage, betrayal, terrorism, corruption and murder. All the ingredients of a Le Carré novel, only it’s real’ Matthew Hall
‘A powerful and timely account’ John Sutherland
As WPC Yvonne Fletcher lay mortally wounded, having been shot from within the Libyan People’s Bureau in London on 17 April 1984, her friend and fellow police officer John Murray promised he would see those responsible brought to justice. That promise would take him 37 years to fulfil, during which time he uncovered a startling web of intrigue involving big business, politicians and our intelligence agencies.
This is John Murray’s story.
