Straight off the plane to the Culture Studio for an interview about Bloody Scotland, Wigtown, women and murder with Janice Forsyth's guest presenter, who's only Phil Jupitus!
As She Left It was awarded the gold medal for best Indie Mystery at the ALA convention in Vegas. Organised by Foreword Reviews and decided by 100+ librarians and booksellers - this is a huge honour!
An inspiring day at SinC Desert Sleuths' WriteNow! 2014. Tim Hallinan on finishing, Mark Sullivan on productivity and Graham Brown on plotting. Doesn't get much better than that.
The ever-entertaining and always thought-provoking Tim Halllinan tagged me last week to answer four questions on the writing process and then face the complete non-challenge of finding three amazing and inspiring writing pals to pass the questions along to for next week. My answers are here. And for next week, I give you: current president of Sisters in Crime, the prolific and niche-busting Laura Disilverio; true-crime TV producer and yet also crazy quilt lady, the hilarious and hard-hitting Clare O'Donohue; and where all the awards went, her fabulousness Hank Phillippi Ryan.
