With writing, I stare at a blank screen and two hours later there&#8217;s a thousand words there, and I go, &#8216;Where the hell did that come from?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s very collaborative doing films. You&#8217;ve got wonderful cinematographers choosing the look. You&#8217;ve got art departments. Someone else has developed the story.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Here though you&#8217;re on your own and everything that goes down there is yours. And it&#8217;s rather wonderful to be able to play like that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_117991\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-117991\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117991\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2025\/10\/BryanBrown.PhotoTIMB_45417.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-117991\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bryan Brown will discuss his latest novel in Bangalow on November 6. Photo: SUPPLIED<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That freedom has turned Brown into one of Australia&#8217;s most recognisable new crime writers.<\/p>\n<p>His debut collection Sweet Jimmy led to The Drowning in 2023, and now The Hidden, a taut coastal thriller set in a town called The Heads, a place that could be any number of villages along the New South Wales coast.<\/p>\n<p>The novel follows Sergeant William Jarrett as he investigates a drug overdose, a shipment of cocaine and a series of strange events that unsettle the quiet community. Beneath the surface, Brown explores guilt, loyalty and the choices that can define a life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know that setting very well,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I&#8217;ve got a farm up the north coast and I surf at some of the beaches between Kempsey and Coffs. I have coffee there with other guys that surf. You get to know people and everybody&#8217;s got a story. Everyone thinks they know everything about everyone in small towns, but there&#8217;s a hell of a lot we don&#8217;t know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He pauses, then adds: &#8220;The beauty of the beach is a great opposite to the darkness of crime. I thoroughly enjoy putting the two together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That mix of sunshine and shadows, salt and secrets, has earned his work the nickname surf noir, a term coined by fellow author Trent Dalton.<\/p>\n<p>For The Hidden, the spark came from close to home.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_117992\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-117992\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117992\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2025\/10\/PalmBeach_45861.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-117992\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Actor and author Bryan Brown on the set of Palm Beach. Photo: SUPPLIED<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The bloke that comes and does solar at my house made me think about something,&#8221; he says. &#8220;That got me started on a new story. Then I developed new characters and let them take me somewhere, see where we end up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brown&#8217;s worlds are full of ordinary people making imperfect decisions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m interested in how easy it is to make a bad choice and it&#8217;s very hard to come back from,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p>He traces that fascination back to his childhood in Sydney&#8217;s western suburbs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I grew up, we all mucked around like hell,&#8221; he says. &#8220;A couple of blokes I knew got into trouble. They might nick a Mars Bar from the local grocer, then someone says, &#8216;What about we knock off a lawnmower?&#8217; That little step can put you on a road. I&#8217;m interested in how that happens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Writing those moments, he says, feels instinctive.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I write with one finger on the computer,&#8221; he laughs. &#8220;So instead of running or going back, I&#8217;ve got time to feel like this is how I want it to be. I don&#8217;t change much. The telling of the story always feels right as I&#8217;m putting it down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While his characters wrestle with guilt, redemption and choice, Brown keeps his focus on people and place, particularly the coast.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My daughter lives up near Brunswick, so I was up there the other day,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Anywhere there&#8217;s a beach, I love being at. I love the feel and the casualness of the coast. Watching surfers, toddlers running around, there&#8217;s something magic about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_117993\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-117993\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117993\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2025\/10\/Oldschool_45394.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-117993\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bryan Brown and Sam Neill in Old School.

Like his earlier work, the novel captures the tension between the coast&#8217;s easy charm and the darkness that lingers beneath it, a landscape as beautiful as it is unforgiving.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;ll be back on familiar territory soon, appearing at the Byron Writers Festival&#8217;s evening event with Nell Schofield at Bangalow&#8217;s A&amp;I Hall.<\/p>\n<p>After decades of embodying other people&#8217;s stories, Brown now finds joy in creating his own.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Storytelling, telling a story has always been pretty well my life,&#8221; he says. &#8220;This is just another platform to keep doing it, and it&#8217;s bloody enjoyable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryan Brown will appear in conversation with Nell Schofield at the A&amp;I Hall on Station Street, Bangalow, on Thursday, November 6 at 6.30pm, with books available for purchase through The Book Room.
