Debut novelist Katherine Hill told us about her book, The Violet Hour...
Katherine spoke to us about the dramatic opening of her novel, how writing her first long-form fiction has been a labour of love, and why flawed characters are more fun to write...



The Violet Hour is set to be published on 6th February 2014. You can pre-order it your local Waterstones bookshop (http://bit.ly/Yu5LpV), or online at Waterstones.com (http://bit.ly/19GCQQe)
