LINCOLN BOOK FESTIVAL CRIME DAY

Calling all aspiring crime writers. Here's a chance to listen to me talk about crime writing AND hear my agent tell you how to get published!

I'll be taking part in a Crime Day during Lincoln Book Festival next week, with a full day of crime fiction events taking place on Thursday 12th May at East Midlands Media & Technology Enterprise Centre, part of the Lincoln University campus.

Other authors appearing are Sophie Hannah and Val McDermid, and a panel of experts will give you writing and publishing advice. The panel consists of agent Teresa Chris (who represents me, among many others), editorial consultant Lisanne Radice, senior editor Kate Lyall-Grant, and award-winning author Laura Wilson.

Lincoln is a lovely historic city, and the university campus is on the waterfront at Brayford Wharf. How can you miss it?
