Psychologicial thriller written in Jezzine House A Daniella Brodsky aka Dan Noble 90 | JUNE 2017 MERICAN author Daniella Brodsky, married to MAJGEN Roger Noble, a former commander of the 3rd Brigade, will next month launch the opening book in a trilogy of psychological thrillers. Conceived and written in Jezzine House during their posting to Townsville, Kiss Kill is set in “a garrison city in North Queensland”. It’s a diff erent genre to her usual romantic comedy so the “What She Wrote” series has been penned under the name of Dan Noble, not really a pseudonym because it is, more or less, her married name, but it gives readers the message that this is a diff erent style of book. Even better that the book is “probably” set in Townsville, Daniella is giving away the electronic editions free, working on the theory that, once hooked, readers will be happy to purchase the other two books. In Kiss Kill, a child has been tragically, accidentally killed. Years previously, her mother Erin had written a strikingly similar scenario into her acclaimed novel. Was Erin somehow responsible? Years later, Erin’s trying to cope with the unanswered questions, and thinks she’s fi nally come to a solution. But is her thinking sound? And how many lives will hang in the balance if it isn’t? Daniella said she explored the process of creativity, particularly in writing in the What She Wrote series. A subject that fascinated her, she said researching and writing in the Petherick Reading Room at the National Library in Canberra (when she fi rst moved to Australia with husband Roger) set her on that journey. Kiss Kill is followed by The Book Code and The Petherick Files, in which much of the action precedes the fi rst two stories. Daniella said Kiss Kill was free so readers could get a taste of her new series “risk-free”. “There will be a link to buy the second book at the end of Kiss Kill,” she said.
