Author Louise Mumford (The Safe House) stopped the Bunker for the After Party! She and Brad discussed why it’s important to be less polite (especially if you’re a young woman), happiness as nothing, and road tripping across the United States in an RV without really understanding how big this country is. (Louise is from Wales!) Plus, the state of watching movies when you’re a writer.
Find her on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
About Louis Mumford
Louise Mumford was born and lives in South Wales. In her fifteen-year teaching career she tried to pass on her love of reading to her students (and discovered that the secret to successful teaching is… stickers! She is aware that that is, essentially, bribery.)
In the summer of 2019 Louise experienced a once-in-a-lifetime moment: she was discovered as a new writer by her publisher at the Primadonna Festival. Everything has been a bit of a whirlwind since then.
Louise lives in Cardiff with her husband and spends her time trying to get down on paper all the marvellous and frightening things that happen in her head. Her debut book, Sleepless, a “frighteningly inventive” speculative thriller inspired by her own experience of insomnia, was published by HQ Digital in December 2020. It has reached the overall Top 50 UK Kindle Chart and was the Karin Slaughter July 2021 Killer Read in UK Asda stores nationwide. Her latest thriller, The Safe House, was released in May 2022.
Louise is Co-Chair of Crime Cymru, a co-operative of crime fiction writers with a connection to Wales, and is a member of the Crime Writers’ Association.
