Coleraine author Chris writes for NHS fundraiser book

Chris McDonald wrote The Retreat as his contribution to ‘Noir from the Bar’ which also features shorts from best-selling authors including Neil Broadfoot,

Roz Watkins, Sharon Bolton and Zoe Sharp.

Newcastle-Upon-Tyne based literary group, Noir at the Bar, has brought together some of the best crime writers from across the globe, to publish a collection of short, fictional crime stories.

All contributors - authors, editors and designers - have given their time and work for free and have agreed that all proceeds should go towards supporting the NHS.

Organiser Simon Bewick said: “In all my years, both working for one of the world’s most respected publishers, and my experiences in being published myself, I’ve never known a project come together so quickly. Everyone involved has given their absolute best, with the vast majority of authors writing something new specifically for the anthology. Anyone buying the book will not only get some of the best short crime and mystery fiction available at a fantastic price but will be donating to the NHS – it’s a win, win situation!”

Noir from the Bar is available now via Amazon Kindle, for £2.99. All proceeds will go to NHS Charities Together.

Running from Newcastle’s The Town Wall public house, ‘Noir from the Bar’ is an opportunity for authors of the genre to showcase their creative prowess.
