Frankston Library Author Talk: Christian White

Christian White proves to be an exciting new voice in crime fiction with his debut novel The Nowhere Child.

It took Christian over a decade to find his ‘overnight success.’

Before Christian became a screenwriter and an award-winning author with his best-selling novel The Nowhere Child, he slogged away at his computer on nights and weekends, relying on a long list of unusual day jobs to supplement his writing habit.

These include apple picker, food cart driver, bartender, waiter, t-shirt printer, TV show researcher and a video editor.

As a speaker he is honest and self-deprecating, as he explains how writing for the screen helped him write for the page.

He reveals the importance of letting others read your work, and shares all the things he learned from Stephen King.

The Nowhere Child is his debut novel that has gained international attention.
