Presented as part of Durham Book Festival
Forged in the North, is a new podcast series from Fiona Hill, exploring how the North East has shaped the lives of successful people, from musical icon Sting and writers such as Lee Hall and Peter Straughan, to entrepreneur and former Dragon Sara Davies.
In this special event, Fiona will be speaking to authors L.J Ross and Richard O’Neill about how they tell the story of our region in their books and how the North East has forged them both.
LJ Ross is the Northumberland-born and internationally best-selling author of crime novels. Richard O’Neill is a sixth generation master storyteller and author from the Romani tradition.
Fiona Hill is the Chancellor of Durham University and a political advisor specialising in Russian and European Affairs. From 2018 to 2019 she was deputy assistant to the President of the United States and served on the National Security Council. Her memoir There is Nothing For You Here was published in 2021.
