The first recommendation is #nordicnoir 😊📚 & there are plenty of other #crimefiction events, too. I enjoyed everything I saw so far (review coming up) incl. Scottish myths, Glasgow music scene, midlife crisis, serial killer fiction, Book of Kells - quite a mix! #ayewrite2025 #booksky #Glasgow 🙏🎉

It's #ayewrite2025 time in #Glasgow and I'm excited to be part of the festival blog tour! 📚🎉 Details here 👉

Great to answer some questions from the awesome @crimebookgirl.bsky.social ahead of appearing #ayewrite2025. Although I fully admit I cheated on one of the "quickfire" questions... but you can never ever ask me to pick just one favourite when it comes to these things...

Interview: Russel (RD) McLean The Five By Five Interview with Russel (RD) McLean I don't remember when I first met Russel McLean, but we've bumped into each other at various book launches, crime fiction festivals and suchlike over the years. I still recommend his novel Ed's Dead to people as it's absolutely hilarious and also very clever - it ratchets up so carefully that you don't notice you've gone from a perfectly sane pace to a completely insane one until it's too late...

New interview! Ahead of his #AyeWrite2025 panel, @russeldmclean.bsky.social (pub'd @bwpublishing.bsky.social) talks about his writing, his fave #CrimeFiction characters &his bookmark use - "Everything in the world comes down to stories. They’re all around us, and I’m obsessed with them" #BookSky

A promotional image for the event, featuring Kim Sherwood, Vaseem Khan and myself with our book covers, as well as the text 'Kim Sherwood and Vaseem Khan on working in the world of James Bond, The Mitchell Library, Saturday 15th Nov, 7.45pm'

It's nearly November, which means only a couple of weeks until I'm chatting spy stuff and working in the world of Bond with @vaseemkhanuk.bsky.social and Kim Sherwood at #AyeWrite2025 in just a couple of weeks! Book now - www.glasgowlife.org.uk/event/1/quan...

Thanks to @crimebookgirl.bsky.social for choosing my event with Kim Sherwood and Vaseem Khan as one of her picks at #AyeWrite2025!

Lots of smashing events at #AyeWrite2025 but here's the two I have chosen to highlight for #CrimeFiction lovers (thx @fionabrownlee.bsky.social for inviting me to join the blog tour!)

Feature: Aye Write 2025 highlights Aye Write 2025 highlights - blog tour I’m delighted to be taking part in the Aye Write blog tour highlighting events I am excited to see – there's a lot of lovely crime fiction in this year's festival, which feels perfect for those long dark winter nights. There's Antti Tuomainen and Lilja Sigurdardottir; Gina McGavin with Jane Hamilton; Doug Johnstone and Adam Oyebanji, plus Morgan Cry and Neil Lancaster,

It's great to see Aye Write returning to Glasgow - there's a fab programme of events covering all genres. But here's a couple of #CrimeFiction highlights from me (thx @fionabrownlee for the blog tour invite). #AyeWrite2025
