Scribe acquires debut Australian crime fiction in two-book deal

We have just acquired world rights in two crime thrillers by Melbourne author J.M. Green: Good Money, which was shortlisted in the Victorian Premier's Literary Award for an Unpublished Manuscript; and Too Easy, its sequel. Both books are narrated by Stella Hardy, a wise-cracking social worker with a bad diet and a thirst for social justice, good coffee, and alcohol. Good Money is mainly set in Melbourne's western suburbs, and its intricate plot features drug-dealing, murder, Russian gangsters, and mining scams.

Scribe acquired the rights at auction from Clare Forster at Curtis Brown. Good Money is scheduled for publication in the first half of 2016.

J. M. Green studied professional writing at RMIT. Her work has appeared in Overland and received an honourable mention in the Sisters in Crime Scarlett Stiletto Short Story competition. She divides her time between writing in her backyard studio and working as a librarian in Melbourne's western suburbs.
