Writing Workshop with Elaine Thomson: “Poison Pen: How to Use Poisons in Fiction”

Join Elaine Thomson, author of the hugely popular ‘Jem Flockhart’ series of historic crime novels and a new quartet of supernatural stories set in Scotland, for an afternoon of creative writing. Participants can look forward to expert guidance and inspiration from Thomson, who holds a PhD in the history of 19th century medicine. She describes herself as being “alarmingly knowledgeable about poisonous plants and mushrooms” and this workshop will share this knowledge, and ideas on how to apply it creatively.
