I hope you will be able to join me ...

... and three other fabulous local authors at Leeds Central Library on October 25th. Read on for more details ...

I will be at Leeds Central Library on October 25th for a special event about writing cosy crime. Gianetta Murray, Anne Wedgwood, and Catherine Yaffe will also be joining me.

Gianetta Murray is the author of an anthology of humourous paranormal tales called A Supernatural Shindig, which was released at the beginning of this year. Moved to Murder, the first in her cosy crime series featuring amateur sleuth Vivien Brandt, was published a couple of months ago. The second book in the series is already being drafted.

Anne Wedgwood is the author of The Botanist, The Soloist and The Narcissist. All three of these books are part of her 'Twist in the Tale' series of crime novels.

Keeping us all in line and asking us questions will be Catherine Yaffe. Catherine is the author of The Tangled Web series of crime thrillers. She has also recently released Catch Me Twice, a Detective Inspector Ziggy Thornes thriller.

The event, Making Crime Pay, will take place at Leeds Central Library, Calverley Street, Leeds LS1 3AB, at 6.30pm and will last about an hour. Join us as we discuss what makes a successful protagonist, why location is important, and many other facets of today's cosy crime novel. There will be time to talk to us afterwards, and we will all have copies of our books with us if you would like to buy any.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, this event is being re-arranged.  As soon as a new date is agreed with Leeds library, I will announce it here.  Keep watching this space.
