Hallo, and thanks for dropping in!
I am principally a writer of true crime, most of it based in the UK, with the emphasis on the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I mainly write about murder, both solved cases and unsolved, as well as other violent crimes, scandals and frauds.
My first book was Chloroform: the Quest For Oblivion, published by Sutton Publishing in August 2003. My book on Essex Murders was published in May 2004. This was followed by Whiteley's Folly Gloucestershire Murders;and The Crooks Who Conned Millions. Notorious Blasted Rascal was published by The History Press in November 2008, and Kent Murders in January 2009. I am currently hard at work on several new projects.
I am a member of the Crime Writers' Association The Biographers' Club, The Society of Authors and Forest Writers.
You can see my diary of writing-related activities, and also learn something about me
I hope to include a few more pictures in time!
You can write to me at linda@stratmann.me.uk but please allow a little time for me to reply. There are two kinds of messages to which I will not reply - rude ones (very rare) and requests for advice on how to commit a crime (yes, I have had them).
