Author Talk with Bestselling Author T.M. Logan (1 hour)
Bestselling author T.M. Logan was a national newspaper journalist before turning to novel-writing full-time. His thrillers have sold more than one million copies in the UK and are published in translation in 22 countries around the world including France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, South Korea, Poland, Hungary, Serbia, Greece, Romania, and the Netherlands.
His latest thriller, THE CURFEW, follows the events of a hot midsummer's night, when five teenagers go up to the woods, and only four come out... The Curfew was a Sunday Times Top 10 bestseller, as was his 2021 novel TRUST ME - described as ‘Everything you want from a thriller, and more...’
THE HOLIDAY was a Richard & Judy Book Club pick and spent ten weeks in the Sunday Times paperback Top 10, as well as hitting the #1 spots on Amazon Kindle, Apple iBooks and Kobo. It has since been turned into a four-part TV drama for Channel 5, currently available on Netflix UK. His novel THE CATCH - also being filmed for TV - is about a father who becomes convinced his daughter is about to marry a man with terrible secrets.
Tim lives in Nottinghamshire with his wife and two children and writes in a cabin at the bottom of his garden. You can find him at www.tmlogan.com.
