Claire Douglas

The Richard and Judy Book Club, exclusive to WHSmith

The Woman Who Lied tells the story of Emilia Ward. She’s the bestselling author of detective novels, but as she embarks on her tenth book an incident straight out of one of her plots occurs in real life. Then it happens again, and again.

Returning Book Club author Claire Douglas joins Richard and Judy to talk about why this incredibly intricate story within a story meant she had to keep detailed plot and character notes for the first time in her novel writing career. They also discuss the endless re-writing process authors have to go through with editors – a procedure none of them truly appreciated until they became authors themselves.
