Stephen Crabbe - A focus on historical fiction

from Not the Plot · host Teena

Send us Fan MailStephen Crabbe’s ancestors were among the first colonists of South Australia, where he lived for most of his life. From his earliest years he loved language and music in many forms, and this led to formal study and qualifications in both. He was also active in a variety of sports. When Stephen took up education as a profession, it was no surprise to anyone that he often specialised in teaching Music, Physical Education or Language Arts. Writing was always a compulsion and he has had articles published and scripts used for screen productions. The focus of his writing these days is historical fiction. Stephen now lives in Western Australia where, outside of writing, he is a competitive sprinter in Masters Athletics. In this episode of Not the Plot he chats with host Teena Raffa-Mulligan about why he writes historical fiction, his creative process and what he hopes readers will take away from his stories. For more information about Stephen and his historical fiction series visit his website at Stephen Crabbe--author or visit his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/stephen.crabbe.77Thank you for listening.Find out more about Not the Plot host Teena Raffa-Mulligan at https://www.teenaraffamulligan.com or follow her FB author page https://www.facebook.com/TeenaRaffaMulligan You can also sign up for her occasional newsletter at http://bit.ly/2gqsJz3
