Episode 09: Claire McGowan

Northern Irish author Claire McGowan joins us on Babble this week, where she not only talks about her very successful career writing crime fiction novels, but also her career writing women's fiction, which she does under the pseudonym Eva Woods. If you’re after a juicy crime thriller that has you playing detective throughout, you've got the recently published novel The Push and many more to choose from, including the fantastic Paula Maguire Series, which has been optioned for TV. If you'd rather nestle yourself into the world of love, loss, and the heartwarming humour of everyday life, then you should be eyeing up one of the books Claire writes under the pseudonym Eva Woods, such as The Man I Can't Forget, How To Be Happy, The Ex Factor and more.

Claire and Megan Thomas babble about the benefits of writing under pseudonyms, on writing different genres, as well as how Claire gets her ideas. For all the aspiring authors out there, Claire has also given really helpful tips from both her teaching and personal experience. We can't wait to hear what you think!
