An Evening with Karline Smith
Event Information
Description
Join us for an evening with bestselling local author Karline Smith.
In her powerhouse first novel Moss Side Massive, Karline Smith graphically portrays the harsh realities of life on the mean streets of Manchester's Moss Side district where baby-faced drug dealers ply their trade on mountain bikes whilst gun shots shatter the night air. Written with compelling authenticity Moss Side Massive takes the reader into the heart of a world where the gun is God and respect means fast money or a quick death.'
Moss Side Massive received reviews from The Guardian, Time Out, The Voice, The Big Issue, City Life magazine.
The sequel to Moss Side Massive, Full Crew was published by the X-Press in December 2002, receiving excellent reviews from Times Literary Supplement and City Life Magazine.
Both books have been reprinted by Black Sapphire Press in 2019. Karline’s third novel Goosebumps and Butterflies are Fairy Tales was also published by Black Sapphire Press December 2018.
