Media release! Richard Evans Launches Thrilling

Media release!

Richard Evans Launches Thrilling New Political Novel: HORRIBLE PEOPLE

Local author and writers’ mentor Richard Evans is set to captivate readers with his latest political thriller, HORRIBLE PEOPLE, the first in the Jack Hudson MP series.

Drawing on his extensive experience as a former federal politician, when asked if HORRIBLE PEOPLE is a memoir, Evans grinned and said, ‘You may say that, but I could never confirm such a proposition,’

‘While the novel draws from my lived political experiences and the fascinating individuals I’ve encountered throughout my career, ultimately, it is a work of fiction designed to entertain and provoke thought.’

Now available from major retailers online, local bookstores, and libraries.

Reviews welcome, contact us for a free copy.
