Syd Moore is an author best known for her Essex Witch Museum Mysteries that feature Rosie Strange and Sam Stone and were shortlisted for the Good Reader Holmes and Watson Award 2018. She has also written short stories which have twice been shortlisted for the prestigious ‘dagger award’ by the Crime Writers Association.
At the Zoom event, Syd will be exploring with us the history of female persecution from witch hunts, which are still far from over, to modern day female stereotypes which she challenged with artist Heidi Wigmore in the invention of the card game Super Strumps.
There will be the opportunity to ask Syd questions and she will close the event with a reading from her book: The Twelve Strange Days of Christmas which one attendee will be gifted a signed copy of.
