SUMMARY:Nairn Book & Arts Festival 2025
DESCRIPTION:Douglas is thrilled to be returning to Nairn for this superb festival. \nHe’ll form part of a trio of crime writers taking part in the Wine & Crime event on Friday September 5. His session is at 4.30pm\, with Ian Kelly and Natalie Jayne Clark appearing at 1.30pm and 3.00pm respectively. \nLast time Douglas appeared he talked about his historical Jonas Flynt series\, but this time the focus will be on the Rebecca Connolly series\, in particular the seventh and final entry\, ‘The Other Side of Fear.’ (Although that doesn’t mean he won’t drift off topic and talk about Jonas!) \nNairn is a wonderful town to visit\, so if you’re looking for a break and fancy visiting a great festival\, you know what to do! \n(And yes\, he does know that’s an old pic used in the image. But it’s only weeks old. Well\, hundreds of weeks old.)

SUMMARY:Carry on Sleuthing rides again
DESCRIPTION:Despite public demand\, the Crime Writers Amalgamated Players (CWAP for short) are on the road again. \nFresh from its triumph on Bute\, the Carry on Sleuthing team will\, to paraphrase The Monkees\, take the last train to Clarkston to bring quality theatre to the city suburbs. Or something. \nYes\, you lucky Clarkstonians will have the chance to revel in the mystery and fun that has had audiences both puzzled and incontinent from Sanquhar to Grantown. \nA talented band of performers will be presenting a superb show filled with wit and style and elegance. \nUnfortunately\, that’s not this show. \nAuthors Caro Ramsay\, Theresa Talbot\, Michael J Malone and Douglas Skelton will trot out the clues that will help amateur sleuth Letitia Luvibod solve the mystery of the Murder at the Knickerage (oo-er\, missus!) \nUnfortunately\, there will also be bad jokes and even worse accents. \nCome see them in Clarkston library on Tuesday October 29. To book\, contact the library. \n

SUMMARY:Dark Nights and Dark Deeds in Grantown-on-Spey
DESCRIPTION:It’s autumn so that means it’s time to return to Grantown for the Halloween weekend. \nThis is always a high spot on my calendar\, not the least because we get to do Carry on Sleuthing. \nOK\, maybe audiences don’t share our enthusiasm but the cast enjoy themselves. Well\, most of them. \nAnd this year\, it’s a BRAND NEW show\, entitled A MURDER IS MISPRONOUNCED! \nRegular cast mates Caro Ramsay\, Michael J. Malone and I will the joined by guests stars SG MacLean\, Lesley Kelly\, Olga Wojtas and James Oswald in the comedy. For want of a better word. \nShona MacLean has walked the boards before\, so she should know better. Lesley Kelly has also appeared in a previous show. Olga and James are fresh meat…sorry\, newcomers. \nThe play kicks off the festival weekend during which all the above will be joined by author Mark Leggatt for panels and chats and\, on Saturday night\, a quiz being concocted by Caro Ramsay. \nIt really is a fun weekend and if you can get to this lovely town nestling at the foot of the Cairngorms\, then we’d love to see you. \nSee the poster illustrations for details. All events will take place in the newly refurbished Grantown YMCA Community Centre on the Main Street. \njtasjtas \n

Revenge is a dish best served ice-cold…\nThe city is caught in the vice-like grip of a savage winter. Even the Thames has frozen over. But for Jonas Flynt – thief\, gambler\, killer – the chilling elements are the least of his worries… \nJustice Geoffrey Dumont has been found dead at the base of St Paul’s cathedral\, and a young male sex-worker\, Sam Yates\, has been taken into custody for the murder. Yates denies all charges\, claiming he had received a message to meet the judge at the exact time of death. \nThe young man is a friend of courtesan Belle St Clair\, and she asks Flynt to investigate. As Sam endures the horrors of Newgate prison\, they must do everything in their power to uncover the truth and save an innocent life\, before the bodies begin to pile up. \nBut time is running out. And the gallows beckon…

DESCRIPTION:Public appearances are back\, folks! \nIn September there was Bloody Scotland and now we have Book Week Scotland taking place between November 15 and 21. \nFirst up for me is this chat with pal Caro Ramsay in Paisley Central Library on Wednesday November 17 at 7pm. \nCaro is always value for money (even though the tickets are free) and her books are absolutely terrific. \nShe also seems to be issuing one a week at the moment.

SUMMARY:Denzil and me at Aye Write 2020
DESCRIPTION:The programme for the superb Glasgow literary festival Aye Write has been announced – and I’m in it! \nYay! \nI’m paired with someone called Denzil Meyrick\, who must be a newcomer because I’ve heard very little about him and he’s not very active on social media at all. \nApparently\, his books are good though. \nAnd we’re being interviewed by another brash newcomer called Theresa Talbot\, who is apparently also good. \nTheresa Talbot \nI think they’re just giving these fresh starts a hand up by pairing them with a more seasoned hand. \nI really should be more careful when shaking that pepper pot. \n \n \nSeriously\, I’m looking forward to the event. \nDenzil is a huge draw and Theresa is brilliant interviewer and author. \nAlso\, we’re pals (they’ll deny it\, but I have emails) so it will be a laugh. \nCome along and see us if you can. \nWe’re appearing on Friday March 20 at 7.45pm in the Mitchell Library. \nYou can find details here: \nDenzil and Douglas at Aye Write
