Helen Blair
from My Life In Books with Red Szell · host Accessible Media Inc.
Helen Blair’s debut novel How to Kill Your Biggest Fan is a deliciously dark and playful exploration of the relationship between authors and their fans. When a best-selling romantic novelist whose career is on the slide, discovers she has a stalker, she finds herself both in peril, and creatively re-energised. Blending slow-burn psychological suspense with biting social commentary, Helen probes the morally grey areas of fame, obsession, and intimacy in an age dominated by sensation and social media while also poking fun at the publishing industry and its marketing strategies. Join Helen and Red as they explore the relationship that exists between writers and their fans, and hear Helen reveal the real-life letter that was her novel’s genesis.
