Killer Women Festival 2020

This is shaping up to be one of the best crime fiction and drama festivals around, with next year's programme packed with star guests and festival firsts: a live demonstration of police dog training; crime writing for kids; the real Peaky Blinders; forensic challenges; former prison inmates; true crime TV scoops and exclusives, and panels on psychopaths, cults and toxic masculinity.  I'll be hosting the Fresh Blood panel with four terrific debut crime writers.

If you're not already subscribing to their Crime Club newsletter, do sign up now as you'll be sent a special notice when the early bird tickets go on sale on 1 January. A full day of crime fiction favourites for just £65? You can't whack it!

St Hilda's Crime Fiction Weekend 2020

I'm very excited to be helping to organise next year's St Hilda's Crime Writing Weekend, which is held in glorious Oxford over the weekend 14-16 August 2020. The theme is 'All Our Yesterdays: Historical Crime Fiction'. Guest speakers will include Laura Shepherd-Robinson, Abir Mukherjee, Vaseem Khan and William Shaw. Do come if you can; it's a weekend like no other and unmissable for crime fiction fans. You'll have drinks on the lawn, a murder mystery supper (we hope to persuade Mick Herron to reprise his Geordie detective) and a super Sunday lunch. You can stay on campus for the full Oxford collegiate experience!
