Douglas has been a regular face at Bloody Scotland, the international crime writing festival held in Stirling every September.
And this year he’s back, not as a panel chair but talking about his own work.
On Friday September 12 at 2pm he’ll be sharing the stage at Holy Trinity Church with authors Charlotte Philly and Phillip Miller.
Each has a a journalist at the centre of their stories.
The Other Side of Fear is the latest thrilling outing for Douglas Skelton’s investigative journalist Rebecca Connolly as murder haunts the island of Stoirm. The Hollow Tree sees the return of Phillip Miller’s defiant reporter Shona Sandison in a beguiling trip into the occult. Charlotte Philby’s stylish Dirty Money introduces journalist turned private investigator Ramona Chang in a plot shimmering with menace and effortless cool.
Bloody Scotland is yet another fabulous festival and if you’ve never visited, now is the time.
