Louise Walsh is the author of two published novels and a short story. Her first novel, Fighting Pretty (Seren Books), drew on her knowledge of the Welsh amateur boxing scene. Her second novel, Black River (Carreg Gwalch), was inspired by research into press intrusion at Aberfan following the 1966 disaster. Louise was on the Hay Festival’s Writers at Work programme from 2016 – 2018 and gained an MA in creative writing at Cardiff University in 2019. She is currently working on a series of crime novels. In 2022 Honno published her crime short, Strike Weather, in an anthology of crime stories called ‘Cast a Long Shadow.’
