Connecting Trains - Character Design - A Penny for your thoughts

from The Story Behind My Stories · host Helen Taylor Author

Welcome to The story behind My stories —the video podcast where crime fiction meets authentic experience. I'm Helen Taylor, your guide through the tangled web of my crime fiction stories and my real life experiences in off the path locations. Readers of my crime fiction novels tell me 'It feels like I'm there', 'The places and spaces feel authentic'. That's because they are.Here, I will share how I ended up in the places the novels are set in, how and why I chose to use those places or experiences in one of DI Goodwin's investigations around the world and at home in Surrey. I will share the real-life inspirations and intimate stories that shaped each of my novels. You'll discover how everyday encounters, secretive motivation, and travelled journeys translate into tales as gripping as they are genuine.
