NEW AUTHOR PROFILE
Adrian Magson
There must be as many ways of creating a plot for a book as there are pages, from the wildly imaginative to the purely scientific – and all points in between. NM Brown, this month’s debut author, aimed for what he saw as some of the traditional story elements:
• A missing girl
• A concerned friend
• A retired detective
• An escalating body count.
The result, his novel The Girl on the Bus was published by Bloodhound Books in April this year.
