Marrisse Whittaker has been creating characters for all of her working life, travelling far and wide, first as a TV and Film Make-Up Artist, where she may have been called upon to construct a corpse, age an actor by a hundred years or make a real-life raddled rock star look desirable. Next, as a TV Scriptwriter, creating stories for popular UK TV series.
But plenty of drama takes place in real life too and when Marrisse joined forces with her husband, former TV journalist Bob Whittaker, to establish Orion TV, they produced a fascinating range of factual programmes for major broadcasters around the world.
Marrisse lives by the sea in rural Northumberland in the UK, inventing stories of murder and mayhem, whilst wandering through the dramatic surf and turf landscape right on her doorstep.
The Magpie was shortlisted for The Lindisfarne Prize for Outstanding Debut Crime Fiction and will be followed by two more Thrillers in 2021, all published by Bloodhound Books.
