Her writing has appeared in the Guardian, the Observer, the Times and the New York Times. Abigail’s first novel, <strong>GIRL A</strong>, was an instant Sunday Times and New York Times Bestseller. Her third novel, <strong>THE DEATH OF US</strong>, is out now.</p><br><p>We loved chatting with Abigail and hearing about how she switched a legal career for writing, and why she likes to explore the aftermath of crime in her books. Plus, she tells us about the storytelling power of video games and how they made her want to tell her own stories, and we also chat about the pressure that comes with following up a big debut success.</p><br><p>Links:</p><p><a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/beta-search?keywords=abigail+dean" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Buy The Death of Us and Abigail's other books now</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/abigailsdean/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Follow Abigail on Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.abigail-dean.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Abigail's website</a></p><br><p>Subscribe to Narrative Damage on your <a href="https://linktr.ee/narrativedamagerpg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">podcast app</a> and on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@narrativedamagerpg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a></p><br><p>Support us on Patreon and get great benefits, including a bonus episode with Abigail telling us about 5 books that have influenced her!: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/ukpageone" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/ukpageone</a></p><br><p>Page One - The Writer's Podcast is brought to you by Write Gear, creators of Page One - the Writer's Notebook.
