I love my local library and I'm finally there for an author talk this Thursday! Please join us from 6:30 to 7:30 pm on 24 March. Bookings essential. Bring your questions and I'll answer them - whether they're about the story or the process of writing it. .
Please join me, along with Eugen Bacon and Christine Balint, and listen to us each read from our books and discuss our work as writers...and editors who write. Thursday 9 December, 5.00 pm, via Zoom. Would love to see you there!
Lyn’s appearing in THREE events at this festival: one on Friday 3 Dec and two on Sunday 5 Dec, including one with the ABC’s The Bookshelf. Book now before they’re sold out!
This live event on 11 August at Sam Merrifield Library at Moonee Ponds is an opportunity to meet Lyn Yeowart, author of The Silent Listener and hear her talk about her writing and to ask questions.
Jump on board quickly! This will be a rollicking, no-holds-barred discussion of psychological thrillers and what goes on inside the strange heads of the people who write them!
Hosted by Danielle Binks, in this session Lyn Yeowart and R.W.R. (Rob) McDonald will discuss what attracts them to the dark side, and how through tackling a mystery you can also tackle some of life’s bigger questions.
Join Lyn in one or both of these panel discussions at the sensational StoryFest 2021 that runs from Friday 18 June to Sunday 20 June.
Past Horrors, Grim Landscapes, with Lyn Yeowart, Nikki Gemmell & Jock Serong. Host: David Hunt.
Landscapes often reflect the brutality of the events that have unfolded upon them and the people who enacted those events. But can the reverse be true? How do landscapes unleash the brutality that lurks within us?
Saturday 19 June 10.00 am - 11.00 am
Sisters In Crime, with Lyn Yeowart, Cathy Jinks & Kellie Hawkins. Host: Suzanne Leal
Three very different crime writers and three very different crimes. Yet, all three novelists reveal how past trauma resurfaces and magnifies circumstances, twisting perceptions, and challenging our ability to be our own agents of change. Is this a uniquely female perspective or simply a reflection that motive and opportunity is far more nuanced than they may first appear.
Sunday 20 June 10.00 am - 11.00 am

Lyn has over 30 years of experience helping people to start writing, keep writing, polish their writing…and get published. In this motivating workshop, you’ll learn 5 great tips to improve your writing and receive individual feedback and advice, no matter whether you’re a beginner, working on a manuscript, or looking for a publisher.
Find out about Lyn’s bumpy journey from teacher at Horsham High School, to business writer, to author of crime fiction published by Australia’s largest publisher. This story has as many twists and turns as The Silent Listener.
In this lively and interactive course, Lyn will introduce you to some of MS Word’s advanced features and you’ll learn how to use them to master your manuscript.
Join Lyn in conversation with the wonderful Jen Bowden to discuss everything and anything about The Silent Listener. What’s true, what’s not true, the development of the manuscript, the publishing and editing process, as well as the novel’s plots, characters, and twists and turns.
By tickets here.
Authors Katherine Kovacic, Sandi Wallace and Lyn Yeowart discuss with Maggie Baron how and why the country is such an ideal scene of the crime – and the many insights that ‘rural noir’ novels offer into life, now and in the past.
Sit back and relax over lunch as you hear about the ins and outs —as well as the ups and downs—of Lyn’s journey to publication. Come armed with questions to participate in the discussion to follow.

Families can be havens of love and affection, but they can also be crucibles of crime where abuse and resentment create an explosive mix. At the family core there are usually secrets – deep, dark secrets – as three new novels demonstrate: Nicola Moriarty’s You Need to Know, Erina Reddan’s The Serpent’s Skin and Lyn Yeowart’s The Silent Listener.
