Dawn Reeves’s first novel ‘Hard Change’ was published last week. It is available as a paperback and an ebook.

Hard Change is a contemporary town hall thriller set in a Midlands city with an alcohol problem. A young girl’s discarded body found in a council bin, forces a council officer, a policewoman and an NHS trust manager to emerge from behind their desks and make personal choices. But can they act collectively to do the right thing and prevent another murder?

On her website is a tantalizing taster – Hard Change Prologue.

Dawn lives in London with her partner Simon but has an affinity for the Midlands. She is motivated by social injustice, fascinated by power and all the weird and wonderful things happening below the surface of society. Dawn has been a Guest writer on The Casket where you can read Trust’s Lodger and Three Portraits & Three Tales or listen to them as audio Storycasts.
