Denise Brown's headshot

I am a published author of three murder mystery novels for Young Adults; my fourth book is due to be published in October 2026 by award-winning indie press Hashtag Press. I have ghost written 50+ novels for clients around the world, including niche romance, cosy mysteries, post-apocalyptic thrillers, and police procedurals. I also offer critique and developmental edits to other authors. 

I have attended several panels including Wigtown Book Festival and Camp YA, and attended YALC 2024, meeting and greeting readers and signing copies of my books. I offer workshops to senior school students, demonstrating the use of misdirection and unreliable narrators, and arming them with the tools to create their own murder mystery. But will tailor the workshop to suit younger students at primary school age to discuss the importance of characterisation in the battle of good versus evil.
