Crime Fiction Festivals and Conventions - Harrogate, Crimefest and CSI Portsmouth
Crime has descended on the otherwise respectable spa town of Harrogate in North Yorkshire, England. Not a crime wave as in the criminal sense, although that could always happen, but an invasion of crime fiction writers and crime fiction fans. Yes, the Theakstons Old Peculiar Crime Festival , or the Harrogate International Festival as it is now called, has kicked off and runs until 24 July 2011 at the Swan Hotel, Harrogate.
There are some great crime authors there including Lee Childs, Linwood Barclay, and Lisa Gardner plus many of my crime writing buddies from the Crime Writers' Association. Unfortunately I can't make it but keep threatening to. Maybe next year.
Meanwhile, I will certainly be at Crimefest 2012, from 24-27 May at the Royal Marriot Hotel, Bristol. Crimefest 2012 will be celebrating its fifth anniversary and already has lined up Lee Childs and Jeffrey Deaver. So I'll be in splendid company and I'm really looking forward to it and meeting up again with readers of DI Andy Horton and my thrillers from the UK, America, Canada and Australia as I did this year.
Before then there is CSI Portsmouth 2011 on Saturday 5 November which is looking very exciting. We have some top crime authors lined up who I hope to be able to announce shortly and along with them forensic psychologists, police and fingerprinting experts. Keep your eyes peeled for more details here, on my Twitter feed or Facebook page and also on my official web site

Top crime authors sharing the platform at CrimeFest 2013
Jeffery Deaver and Peter James are lined up to take part in this year’s Crimefest and I'm delighted to be there with them.
I am sure that Jeffrey Deaver's Thriller Writing Seminar as part of the festival’s Crime Writing Workshop will be packed to the rafters. Well worth attending if you're a budding crime author.
Literary Agents will also be attending. Taking part in the Pitch an Agent strand will be Camilla Wray, Broo Doherty and David Headley.
Also at CrimeFest will be TV series "Sherlock"s co-creator, producer and actor Mark Gatiss, Steven Moffatt and Sue Vertue.
My Panel at CrimeFest is on 31 May at 10.10am.I will be appearing with my fellow crime authors, Ann Cleeves, Kate Ellis, J.C. Martin and Kerry Wilkinson discussing 'A Policeman Calls.'
I appeared with Ann Cleeves at CSI Portsmouth 2012, so it will be good to be working with her again.
The Crime Writers' Association (CWA) will also announce the Dagger Awards shortlists at CrimeFest.
CrimeFest takes place at the Royal Marriot Hotel, Bristol and runs from 31 May to 2 June.
The DI Horton novel, A Killing Coast, has been longlisted for the EDunnit Award at CrimeFest 2013
