- [Welcome to the Gritty World of Thriller Crime Fiction by Mark McGinn](https://violet-ant-708439.hostingersite.com/): Hi, I’m Mark McGinn, author of the Sasha Stace crime series. My journey to writing crime thrillers started with a career as a court registrar in New Zealand. I spent years observing the human drama that unfolds in the courtroom, where justice is seldom as neat and tidy as it should be. That experience lit my passion for writing stories that dive into high-stakes moments that can get pretty messy. It wasn’t until a conversation with a client—who, like me, shared a love for crime novels—that I decided to give crime writing a go. We discussed the idea, “What if […]

- [Development Editing](https://violet-ant-708439.hostingersite.com/development-editing/): When I’m not writing or thinking about writing, I’m watching and reading as a development editor. It’s not a commonly understood term. Most people think of editing as someone who catches mistakes such as spelling and grammatical editing. My focus as a development editor is on your story and helping you tell the best story you can. Development editing is time consuming work so it’s not free. I specialise in, surprise-surprise, crime stories and thrillers. Many editors don’t want to own a niche for fear of not getting work. Make no mistake – you need an expert in genre! And […]
