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.
