Thrilling Tales_ Crime Fiction & Advocacy with Noelle Holten and Sharon Bairden.

Welcome to another exciting episode of the Writing Community Chat Show! 📚🎥In this week's show, we're delighted to host two incredible guests, Noelle Holten and Sharon Bairden, both accomplished writers with fascinating backgrounds. Here's a little sneak peek into their remarkable journeys:🌟 Noelle Holten:Noelle is a multi-talented individual who wears many hats. She's not only an award-winning blogger over at www.crimebookjunkie.co.uk but also serves as a PR & Social Media Manager for Bookouture, a renowned digital publisher in the UK. With 18 years of experience as a Senior Probation Officer, she's well-versed in various cases, including those involving serious domestic abuse. Noelle's academic credentials include three Hons BA's in Philosophy, Sociology (Crime & Deviance), and Community Justice, along with a Diploma in Probation Studies and a Masters in Criminology. Her love for reading, attending book festivals, and sharing her passion for books through her blog is truly infectious.📖 Noelle's Debut Novel: "Dead Inside" is an international Kindle bestseller and marks the beginning of a new series featuring DC Maggie Jamieson. She's also the author of "6 Ripley Avenue," her first stand-alone crime thriller. We can't wait to delve into her writing journey!🌟 Sharon Bairden:By day, Sharon is a manager at a small local independent advocacy service, deeply passionate about human rights. By night, she immerses herself in the thrilling world of crime fiction. Sharon is not just a writer but a blogger too, and you can find her insights over at Chapterinmylife. She's taken the plunge to become an author, and her debut novel, "Sins of the Father," was published in November 2020 by Red Dog Press. Following this success, she released "You Need Me" on October 12th, 2021, also published by Red Dog Press. Sharon's creativity knows no bounds, as she's currently working on her third standalone psychological thriller.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Hailing from the outskirts of Glasgow, Sharon has a full and lively life with two grown-up children, a grandson, a Golden Labrador, and a cat. Her free time is predominantly devoted to all things bookish, from reading to attending book festivals and launches. She's even ventured out of her comfort zone on occasion, proving her mettle by walking over burning coals and broken glass (although not simultaneously, of course!).Join us in this episode as we explore the captivating worlds of crime fiction, writing, and advocacy with our wonderful guests, Noelle Holten and Sharon Bairden. 📖✨ Don't miss out on the insights and stories they have to share!Watch this interview on YouTube here: https://youtube.com/live/GYutSx4gQro#Noelleholton #Sharonbairden #authorinterview #writingcommunity #books______________________________________Find out more: www.TheWritingCommunityChatShow.ComTHE WCCS – TOGETHER AS ONE WE GET IT DONE!If you would like to advertise your #book on the show, to enroll in a book launch interview, or to have a WCCS social media shout out, visit here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TheWCCSFOLLOW US► Our website – https://www.thewritingcommunitychatshow.com► Universal link – https://linktr.ee/TheWCCS► Buy the show a coffee – https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TheWCCS► Use hashtag TheWritingCommunityChatShow or TheWCCS on social media to keep us current.
