Back to Bute!

I’ve been invited back to Bute Noir this year.

I know, they never learn!

This year I’ll be appearing with historical fiction heavyweights  (their work, not them personally) Anna Mazzola and Naseem Khan to talk about westerns.

I’m kidding, obviously we’ll be chatting about writing historical fiction.

The festival is a fabulous one to visit, the island is wonderful and if you’re lucky you can catch some superb views across the water, and this year it kicks off on Friday August 4.

We’re on Sunday August 6.

These Bloody Islands at Aye Write

Aye Write, Glasgow’s very own literary festival, kicks off again in March.

And I’m lucky enough to be part of it!

On Sunday March 17 I’ll be joining authors Anna Mazzola and CL Taylor to discuss These Bloody Islands.

By a stroke of coincidence – not to mention luck – we have each written new books set on Scottish islands.

Our chair will be the ever-charming Theresa Talbot.

I’m looking forward to this event immensely and I’m delighted to be back at Aye Write answering questions instead of asking them. Although I will be getting my chairman’s jacket on, too – details posted elsewhere.
