Local author and writers’ mentor Richard Evans is set to captivate readers with his latest political thriller, 'Horrible People', the first in the Jack Hudson MP series. Drawing on his experience as a former federal politician and national industry leader, Evans brings a unique and authentic perspective to political storytelling.
Evans believes apathy towards politics often breeds scepticism and discontent. 'Horrible People' explores this idea through a compelling narrative filled with page-turning plots and memorable characters, offering a glimpse into the murky waters of political life.
The book launched in Mackay at the Dudley Denny City Library, coinciding with Evans’ creative writing course on federal election day — is a fitting blend of literature and civic engagement that reflects his approach to storytelling.
When asked if 'Horrible People' is a memoir, Evans grinned and said, "You may say that, but I could never confirm such a proposition." He added, "While the novel draws from my lived political experiences and the fascinating individuals I’ve encountered, it is a work of fiction designed to entertain and provoke thought."
Regarded as a master of the political thriller genre in Australia, Evans has penned nine novels that captivate and challenge readers. His work doesn't just thrill — it reflects on the political landscape with insight and wit.
'Horrible People' is now available. Ask for a copy at your local bookstore, library, or preferred online retailer.
