Meet Australian crime author Candice Fox

Join acclaimed Australian author Candice Fox at Sunshine Coast Council’s Maroochydore library from 6.30pm to 8.30pm on Thursday, February 16.

Candice is the author of five books including Fall, Hades, Eden and Never Never with James Patterson.

Her first novel, Hades, won the Ned Kelly Award for best debut in 2014 from the Australian Crime Writers Association.

The follow-up book won best crime novel in the Ned Kelly 2015 Awards.

Candice began collaborating with best-selling author James Patterson in 2015, with their first title Never Never set in the Australian outback. A prequel novella, Black and Blue was part of the James Patterson BookShots series.

Candice will be discussing her new fiction release, Crimson Lake, an edgy suspense novel set in the crocodile infested wetlands of Far North Queensland.
