Danuta Reah
Danuta Reah, who also writes under the name Carla Banks, is the author of seven crime novels, a novella, and many short stories. In 2005 Danuta won the CWA Short Story Dagger for ‘No Flies on Frank’ (which was included in the The Best British Mysteries IV anthology published by Allison & Busby in 2006). Her story Glazed, in Getting Even (ed Mitzi Szereto, Serpent’s Tail) was shortlisted for the 2008 CWA Short Story Award. Several of her short stories are now available as eBook singles.
Danuta’s story, The Trouble with Dragons, was an invited contribution to the anthology, Fusion, that came from our inaugural Sci-Fi short story competition. Danuta also contributed the eponymous, The Dummies’ Guide to Serial Killing, to our fantastic female fables anthology and was again an invited author in the first of our Forge anthologies.
Danuta also publishes academic books which are widely recognised as valuable resources for the study of language; you can read some of her work here, covering topics as diverse as how the press creates monsters and how to address a thousand year old vengeance demon.
She also offers courses in Creative Writing. Danuta is past Chair of the Crime Writers’ Association.
