Gamekeepers Turned Poachers: Richard Strachan, Sarah Hornsley, David Reynolds

These three authors have gone from one side of the book business to the other. Having worked as booksellers, agents and publishers they have made the leap to become published authors with accomplished debuts. Richard Strachan was a bookseller with a dream, and he has succeeded in style with the unsettling First World War drama The Unrecovered. Sarah Hornsley worked in publishing and as a literary agent before penning the explosive psychological thriller Bad Blood. David Reyolds was one of the founders of Bloomsbury Publishing but has turned to a life of crime with his PI novel The Lady in the Park.
