Thoughts from the mind of a serial crime writer
Vanda Symon
About Me
- Vanda Symon
- Dunedin, New Zealand
- When I'm not writing Crime novels I'm busy working as a research fellow at the Va'a o Tautai - Center for Pacific Health in Dunedin, New Zealand. I am the author of the Sam Shephard detective series, published by Orenda Books - Overkill, The Ringmaster, Containment and Bound. I have also written the stand alone thriller Faceless. If I'm not writing or working, I can be found on the business end of a fencing foil.

Awesome. Can't wait
Terrific, excited to read it.
Congrats, Vanda! Viva la woman.
Yay ... where's the skill though?
When is it out?
Ob *blush* November
Arrrrrgggghhhh - I meant "where's the skull though?"
Ooh err!! Can hardly contain my excitement :-)
Congratulations!
Oooo looks great Vanda! How did you manage to get Kate Mosse to give you a quote?
Brilliant! We in this house hold look forward to it. :)
Very exciting! Does Glenn get photo credit on this one too?
good on you speedy gonzales
Congratulations on this publication. The cover is intriguing. Now I know what a number of overseas relations will receive this Christmas.
Thanks everyone. It's exciting when you get the cover sorted and it starts to feel like a real book.
Rachael - as for the Kate Mosse quote, it's amazing what a girly chat over a few wines will do - I had the pleasure of a lovely wine bar outing with Kate, Mary McCallum and Fiona Kidman while at the Christchurch Writer's Festival. Kate loved my books and was happy to oblige.
Alas, Erin, no, Hubby doesn't get cover credits. After sending him out on numerous photo expeditions and him submitting a lot of pictures, the marketing team didn't like them, or my skull pictures so the stock photos and the hand won. Despite all the wasted time on our part, I really like it.
