For the last eight months, I’ve been busy working on the fourth book in the DI Crow series, and I’m pleased to report that it is now with the publisher and going through the editing process, so there shouldn’t be long to wait! In the meantime, I am delighted to announce that together with another West country writer, Jason Mann, I will be giving a Crime Writing Masterclass at the upcoming Clevedon Celebration of the Book on 2nd November. We hope it will be a fun, interactive session, with a little competition at the end, and we will both be offering copies of our books as prizes! We are really looking forward to meeting and chatting to readers at the event, and would love to see you there. I will also be in the main hall during the day, so do come and say hello. In addition to our masterclass, Just Write Bristol, a group of wonderful writers that I have the honour to belong to, will be offering a session of storytelling and music to round off the evening. It’s going to be a great celebration of the written word! To find out more at the Celebration of the Book website – just click here We look forward to seeing you!
