After all face to face events were cancelled in 2020 it was so great to reconnect with my crime writing pals and with all the brilliant readers and bloggers that I haven\u2019t seen in what seems like forever.<\/p>\n<p>Programming Chair, Ian Rankin, along with Sharon Canavar and all at Harrogate International Festivals and the team at the Old Swan Hotel did a totally awesome job \u2013 making a friendly, fun and fresh-air filled programme with the most wonderful festival atmosphere. <\/p>\n<p>The panel I was on took place on Friday morning where, guided by our excellent moderator Charles Cumming, Holly Watt, AA Dhand, Simon Kernick and myself talked about Gung-Ho Action Heroes and the fun and challenges of thriller writing. I was pretty nervous beforehand \u2013 the Harrogate tented auditorium was massive! \u2013 but as soon as we started talking the nerves melted away. It was so much fun.<\/p>\n<p>As well as catching up with old friends and new, I took at trip to the brilliant independent bookstore \u2013 Imagined Things \u2013 in the centre of Harrogate and signed a few books. It\u2019s a lovely shop, staffed by fabulous people, and I strongly recommend a visit at any time of the year.<\/p>\n<p>If you love crime fiction, and you didn\u2019t get to the festival this year, be sure to put next year\u2019s date in your diary: 21-24 July 2022. It\u2019d be great to see you there.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was the best fun to be a part of the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival 2021.
