The line-up for this year’s festival in Aberystwyth has now been announced. Speakers include Vaseem Khan, Abir Mukherjee, Mark Billingham, and Elly Griffiths. The festival starts on Friday 25th April at 4 pm with the Dragon Parade to the bandstand. The main programme starts on Saturday 26th. I’ll be helping out with stewarding. On Sunday morning 27th at 9.30 I’ll be discussing “Getting Cosy – Evil Murder, Kindly Sleuths ” with Rod Green and Hannah Hendy. Full details about the festival can be found here. Do come if you can. It’s always lovely to meet readers, so do come and meet me.

Other news is that my next Susan Flynn book is now with my publisher Boldwood, going through the editing process ready for publication on 7 July 2025. It’s called A Halloween Murder and it’s set at Carisbrooke Castle. Look out for the cover reveal. You can pre-order it on amazon (UK) here.
