Debut Spotlight: Alex Hudson

Today it's my pleasure to be shining the spotlight on author Alex Hudson and her debut novel Beyond Redemption which was published earlier this week.

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and your writing journey?
I live on the South East Coast of England now, but I started my working life in London at Universal Pictures/MCA records and met many popular celebrities, it was a lot of fun. Eventually, I moved to the West country and had the opportunity to work as a guide at the amazing Longleat House for Lord Bath. It was here that I found my love of history, particularly the 18th century. Strangely, I didn't get on well with history when I was at school.

I am a member of the Historical Novel Society and the Historical Writes Forum.

I love writing, its almost an addition, it has a way of running away with me and I always say that 'I don't write it - it writes me.' My husband reads my work out to me while I make the edits. It sometimes feels that my characters live in our house with us as he knows them as well as I do!

If you had to give an elevator pitch for Beyond Redemption, what would it be?
Beyond Redemption is a blend of deceit, trickery and murder set in the dark times of Georgian England.
