University Chapel

Claire Wilson is from central Scotland. Her debut novel, Five by Five, was the inaugural winner of the Penguin Michael Joseph Undiscovered Writers' Prize. The book is based on her day job as an Intelligence Analyst in a Scottish Prison.Claire started out writing horror and romance stories but it was her much longed for promotion at work that gave her the spark of an idea for a crime novel. Claire has recently sent off book two and is half way through writing the third instalment, which she hopes will lead to her permanent liberation from the prison serviceFive by FiveJust because the most dangerous criminals in society are caught and locked up, doesn’t mean they stop committing crime. That’s where Kennedy Allardyce comes in – working in one of Scotland’s toughest prisons, monitoring not just the prisoners, but also the staff. And she’s just stumbled across her most dangerous foe yet – rumours of a corrupt guard, nicknamed Scout, with lethal influence. And what’s worst, it seems they’ve already realised Kennedy is on their tail.Creative Conversations is generously supported by the Ferguson Bequest.ZOOM LINK TO ATTEND REMOTELY: <a href="https://uofglasgow.zoom.us/j/87835097167" title="https://uofglasgow.zoom.us/j/87835097167" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://uofglasgow.zoom.us/j/87835097167</a>
