Evan Munday

My guest on this episode is Evan Munday. Evan is the author and illustrator of the Silver Birch-shortlisted Dead Kid Detective Agency series, the fourth and most recent volume of which, Connect the Scotts, was published by ECW Press in 2018. Munday works as publicity manager for children’s books at Penguin Random House Canada. In its review of Connect the Scotts, the School Library Journal wrote that “fans of the series will be thrilled with another spectral mystery glinting with subtle mirth.”

Evan and I talk about the days when he was very frequently spotted at Toronto book events, and why those days are mostly over. (Spoiler: it’s age and kids; it’s almost always age and kids.) We talk about the as-yet unpublished fifth instalment of the Dead Kid Detective Agency Series, and why it is as yet unpublished, and why being a full-time writer simply does not fit Evan’s guilt-ridden  personality.
