Michael asked Karen Maitland:

Do you have any appearances scheduled at any public forums in the U.K. this summer?

Karen Maitland Hi Michael,
Thank you so much for your question. I've just returned from a round of festivals including Asparawriting at Evesham, where I was very proud to receive my own Asparagus badge for taking part. I also took part in a brand new book festival at Tiverton and the 13th Festival on the Beach at Le Havre, dedicated to all things noir. Sadly, I missed the Sidmouth festival as I got stuck in France on the way back! (I wonder if Le Havre being the 13th festival was a warning!)

My next confirmed appearance will be to lead an Historical Crime and Thriller Writing Workshop at the 'Noirwich' Festival at the Writer's Centre, Norwich on 12th September, I'm hoping to do a signing at Waterstones or The Book Hive while I'm there.

Between then and now I am leading a week-long residential writing course for Avon with the brilliant historical novelist Manda Scott in August and the rest of the time locked in my office working frantically on the new novel over the summer.

But if any more talks or festivals are confirmed, I'll post news of them here first!
