INTERVIEW
IT HAPPENED IN ESSEX 2
Do you think you know Essex? Take a fresh look through fourteen pairs of eyes.
Fourteen local writers take us on a trail of hope, horror and myth in It Happened in Essex 2 as they once again donate all the profits from this latest book to Basildon Hospital Radio.
Personal memories, fictional accounts of real events, and some that will keep you guessing. You will not be disappointed – the members of Basildon Writers’ Group have over 100 published novels and anthologies between them.
The group’s first book, It Happened In Essex was published in 2020 to acclaim from TV star Richard Madeley, the local MP, the Mayor of Basildon, and veteran radio DJ ‘Diddy’ David Hamilton, among many others. It also achieved a remarkable 4.6 stars out of 5 on Amazon reviews.
Now, It Happened In Essex 2 aims to beat the previous contributions to Basildon Hospital Radio, which is run by a team of dedicated volunteers 24/7. It is funded by initiatives such as this, keeping Basildon Hospital Radio on air for patients, relatives, and staff.
It Happened In Essex 2 – will you recognise all the locations?
Buy the book for yourself or as a gift, and take the challenge today.

Janet taught drama and English in comprehensive schools for thirty-five years. During this time, she wrote plays for the pupils to perform and was involved in amateur drama, both as an actor and a director. She has always been an avid reader and her love of literature and a desire to write encouraged her to join a writer’s group when she retired. This led to writing short stories and then to writing her first novella, Charitable Thoughts. Janet has two children, Kate and Mark, who both have left the nest, and she lives in Brentwood with her husband, Keith.
