Fresh
from an Arts degree, P.M. Newton joined the New South Wales police force in
1982. She spent most of her career as a detective, working both in Sydney and
on the mid-North Coast, and in specialist agencies including Drug Enforcement,
Sexual Assault and Major Crime. When she had eventually had enough of meeting
people for the first time on the worst day of their lives, Newton resigned from
the Job to travel and live overseas. Since then she has written about music and
travel in Mali, and studied Buddhist Philosophy in India. Her first novel, The Old School, won a
Sisters in Crime Davitt Award and the Asher Literary Award, and was shortlisted
for the Indie Award for Debut Fiction and the Ned Kelly Award for Best First
Fiction. Her short fiction has appeared in Seizure, Review of
Australian Fiction and The Great Unknown and her commentary pieces
have appeared on the ABC’s The Drum. Her most recent book is Beams Falling.
