Saturday 28th November at Olympia, London:
Showmasters are putting on a two day "Collectormania" media event at which crime writing Mystery Women are given a space to chat with the public, and sell and sign their books. A Q & A panel is likely to be held. I expect to be there between 11 a.m. and 4.30 p.m. on the Saturday - so will keep an eye out for you, whoever you are!

May 20th to 23rd 2010 Crimefest at Bristol
the International Crime Fiction Convention. (info@crimefest.com) As in previous years, this is held at the Bristol Marriot Royal hotel which makes a most convivial venue for authors and readers alike. Among guest speakers will be the splendid Colin Dexter. As always there will be author panels with opportunity for audience participation. Topics for these are allocated later on, and as yet I have no idea as to what I shall be assigned. Scary!
May 27th 2010
This is the official date for the issue in paperback of the first three Revd Francis Oughterard novels - A Load Of Old Bones, Bones In The Belfry and Bone Idle.
They are published by Robinson (an imprint of Constable & Robinson Ltd) and will retail at £6.99. ISBNs respectively: 1) 978-1-84901-0962; 2) 978-1-84901-095-5; 3) 978-1-84901-094-8.
A number of readers have said they have had difficulty in obtaining the first novel, A Load Of Old Bones, which is now almost out of print. So it will be good to see it more readily accessible again next year. With publication date being so close to the Bristol Crimefest, I am rather hoping that stocks of the paperbacks will be available there.
August 2010
sees the publication in hardback of Bones In High Places. I've had a lot of fun writing this! It continues on immediately from Bone Idle, and Francis, Maurice & Bouncer, plus the bishop et al all go off to France - with some very murky and peculiar results!
Meanwhile, number five - A Bedlam Of Bones - is beginning to take shape.
