African Writers You Should Know: Fiona Snyckers

Fiona Snyckers is a South African writer living in Johannesburg. She’s probably best known for her Trinity series of books: Team Trinity, Trinity Rising and Trinity on Air. The books feature the spunky, mixed-race Trinity Luhabe.

Fiona’s latest book is a thriller about cyber-stalking called Now Following You. In it, writer Jamie Burchell is free with putting her life on social media until a troll becomes a serious threat. A good read I can assure you.

Some of you may be aware Fiona was a judge for last year’s Bessie Head Short Story Contest and has graciously agreed to be a judge again this year. She also regularly writes very considered opinion pieces for The Mail and Guardian.  She talked with me about her writing.
