TESS MAKOVESKY
Dark crime and noir fiction
Tess writes a distinctive brand of British comedie noir and her short stories have darkened the pages of over a dozen anthologies and magazines. She sets much of her work around the city of Birmingham, in particular the leafy but dubious suburbs, the back streets, and of course, the many canals. She often includes references to Pink Floyd songs, not to mention the occasional elephant.
Her latest book 'Embers of Bridges', set in Birmingham and featuring the Live Hard, Die Young gang is newly available on Kindle and (free) on Kindle Unlimited. Dark psychological noir novella 'Raise the Blade' is also available on Kindle.
Sadly, Down & Out Books, the American publishers of 'Gravy Train', have ceased trading, so the book is no longer available. I've deleted links to it on here for now, at least until I decide whether to self-publish it. More news soon!
Just who is this Makovesky woman anyway - and what's all the stuff about Birmingham, Pink Floyd and elephants?
Tess's stories have darkened the pages of anthologies and magazines for years. Find a list here.
