New Events 1- Harrogate
For anyone interested in crime writing- fact or fiction- I'm crawling out of the office on several occasions this year, encouraged by the promotional efforts of my co-author, Stuart Gibbon, to talk on our book, The Crime Writer's Casebook. (Straightforward Publishing)
We are appearing at Waterstones, Harrogate, on 16 February at 6.30. The format is that Stuart, ex-detective, will speak on such topics as murder investigations and police procedure, and I will be the historian, selecting some intriguing cases from the past. I have to admit that I find the humorous side of crime tales more appealing that the grim and gruesome. The stories of incompetence are wonderful, and one of the most entertaining books every written, Stephen Pile's The Book of Heroic Failures, has always inspired my researches.
So if you can make it, come along and ask questions. We always allow plenty of time for that. Our book is aimed at readers as well as writers, and I think that family historians will also find it useful.
