“I’M ALWAYS LOOKING CLOSELY AT TRUE CRIMES & STORIES THAT ARE STRANGER THAN FICTION”! An interview with novelist J. P. Pomare

Noted political journalist, Michael Brissenden, has taken some time out away from the news to turn his hand to crime-fiction writing in a novel that also places the cost of Australia’s participation in futile wars in the Middle East to the fore. Charles Sturt University academic, Therese Taylor, gives her take on The List.
We are joined by historian and Charles Sturt University adjunct professor, Therese Taylor, to discuss our True Crime News Weekly exclusive investigation into the wicked life and death of artist, Herbert Hepburn Calvert. Art, fraud, murder, sexual abuse, suicide and a 100-year long cover-up. With your host Serkan Ozturk.

The question that perhaps was not asked in this interview, and should have been; given that Mr Pomare has repeatedly named the religious group that he has based his fiction on; how do the children raised in the group feel about someone writing a fiction story that includes inventing crimes they did not commit, and no doubt ( from hints in the interview) describes serious mental illness they don’t have, but still it is their “history ” that still being used to market the book? Is it possible they feel exploited, or even slandered?
