I’ve got a busy few months ahead of me, which is never something to complain about. It keeps me on the streets, as it were.
The Four Blokes in search of a Plot tour is already underway with a session in Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street Waterstones that really rocked. I even sang. After a fashion.

The tour, with Gordon Brown, Neil Broadfoot and Mark Leggatt, continues as follows:
Thursday August 30 – Blackwells, Edinburgh
Thursday September 13 – Waterstones Stirling
Friday October 19 – Bute Museum, Isle of Bute (as part of Bute Noir’s ongoing calendar of events)
The Tour coincides with all four of us having new books hitting the shelves. Funny how things work out.
Neil Broadfoot’s newie is NO MAN’S LAND, the start of a thrilling new series featuring two-fisted Connor Fraser centred in Stirling.
Gordon Brown’s is DEEPEST WOUNDS, the latest in his Exciting Craig McIntyre series.
Mark Leggatt’s latest is THE SILK ROAD, another suspenseful tale featuring Connor Montrose.
Mine, as you all know, is THE JANUS RUN, which I describe as Jason Bourne meets the Sopranos.
From September 21 to September 23, I’ll be attending Bloody Scotland in Stirling, one of the premier crime fiction festivals in the world!
I’m chairing a couple of panels during the festival – one with Quintin Jardine and Denzil Meyrick, the other with Nick Triplow, Cathi Unsworth and Harry Brett – but I’ll also be joining the Carry on Sleuthing crowd to present Murder at the Knickerage.
Speaking of The Janus Run and Carry on Sleuthing, I’ll be launching the book officially at the Tidelines Festival in Irvine’s Harbour Arts Centre on Sunday September 30 – and later that day we’ll be back with Knickerage.
