Geraldine Evans writes the 18-strong Rafferty & Llewellyn Mystery Series; funny, family orientated mysteries that are brilliant at taking you out of yourself, and which have earned her several awards and some wonderful reviews.
She was born in London and brought up on a south London council estate. Even though, like her three older siblings, she left school in her mid-teens, she found a love of life-long-learning shortly after. Why not before? Ah, there’s a tale for another time!
She turned to writing in her twenties, but it was hitting thirty that gave her the grit to endure six years of rejections. And then, after being plucked twice from slush piles (Hale and Macmillan), she spent eighteen years as a traditionally published author. Her previous publishers include Macmillan, St Martin’s Press, Worldwide, Hale, Thorpe (large print), Severn House, and Soundings (audio).
She took control of her own destiny and turned Indie in 2010. Since becoming an Indie, she's gone on to publish all of her back-list, including Reluctant Queen, about the little sister of Henry VIII, the Casey & Catt Mystery Series, and various new works.
Since the heady day of learning her first novel was to be published, she's experienced the usual switchback ride of the average writer's life, but she says becoming an Indie, and having control of her writing career and destiny, is the best thing ever. She hopes her story will encourage other working-class people to take their lives by the scruff of the neck and go for it!
Geraldine moved to a market town in Norfolk (UK) in 2000, with George, her late husband. She wouldn’t move back.
She is a member of Mystery People, the Crime Writers Association, and The Alliance of Independent Authors.
