James Hadley Chase plaque unveiling

On May 15th, SWWJ member Ann Evans had the honor of unveiling a plaque to mark the Ealing birthplace of writer James Hadley Chase (1906 to 1985). Ann says she read the thriller writer’s books as a young teenager and liked them immensely, a fact she mentioned when she wrote a blog post a couple of years ago about writers who had inspired her. Fast forward to 2015 when a phone call came out of the blue asking her to unveil the plaque to be erected by Ealing Civic Society: her invitation was a direct result of the blog post!
