We are very delighted to welcome Mason Cross (otherwise known as Gavin Bell) to our meeting on Wednesday June 14th.
Mason Cross is the author of the Carter Blake thriller series published by Orion. The first book, The Killing Season, was published in 2014, and followed by The Samaritan, The Time to Kill (titled Winterlong in the USA), and Don’t Look For Me.
Mason Cross started out writing short stories. Some of his short crime stories have been published in magazines including Ellery Queen and First Edition. His story, ‘A Living’, was shortlisted for the Quick Reads ‘Get Britain Reading’ Award and published in the Sun Book of Short Stories.
The Killing Season was longlisted for the 2015 Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year award, and The Samaritan was selected for the Richard and Judy Book Club for Spring 2016.
Gavin was a short story writer until he was plucked from obscurity by an agents call asking him to develop further a short story he'd had published.
He will be delighted to detail his journey from short story writer to multi novelist.
