Biographie de Bev

Bev Robitai currently works as a writer, book coach, and freelance photographer while travelling in New Zealand and Ontario in Canada. It's an itinerant lifestyle of year-round summer involving boats and motorhomes and a ski chalet. She writes mostly light crime fiction, sometimes based in the theatre and sometimes straying into post-apocalyptic sci-fi. Her novel Murder in the Second Row was launched in June 2010 in a historic theatre that was also used as the setting for Body on the Stage.
A decade of backstage experience gave her the raw material for both books. A stand-alone novel Eye for an Eye is the tale of a quest for justice, inspired by the actions of a real-life conman whose trail of victims made the author angry enough to imagine retribution - in some very inventive ways... The Sunstrike novels are set in a post-apocalyptic present day world when a major solar storm has wiped out all electrical technology.
They are optimistic survival adventures following normal people learning and adapting to difficult new circumstances.
