Are we born evil? Or does life shape us that way? On a Different Day is set against the backdrop of contemporary London. When Maya Fullbright is murdered in the shadow of the Holmville Estate in Camden, north London, the consequences of her death shake the local community. The characters in the book come from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences and all are linked due to the crime. This crime fiction drama gives voice to the fears, hopes and prejudices of those directly or indirectly linked to the crime and shows how it impacts on each of their lives. Beyond the story lie deeper considerations, such as Nature vs Nurture. Are we the victims of our environment and upbringing, or do our genes influence who we become? On a different day, would the outcome have been any different?
Autorenporträt
L. J. Band was born in Islington, London. She grew up in London and Malta, where she attended secondary school and college. After an unsuccessful, short lived marriage, she returned to London with her son. She'd always dreamed of becoming an air hostess or a journalist, but reality intervened and she ended up working as an administrator in the charitable sector, various departments of the BBC and diplomacy. Having never attended university at the standard age, she was encouraged to undertake a law degree while working part-time, and raising her son. Upon graduating and working as a paralegal in north London, the idea for the story of On A Different Day was born. She divides her time between London and Kent, where she enjoys yoga and walking the dogs with her fiancé.
