HUGE NEWS!

At Crime Cymru’s online festival next month, I’ll be appearing with some of my favourite authors including MW Craven, Mari Hannah, Emma Kavanagh, Imran Mahmood and Queen of Icelandic crime herself, Yrsa Sigurđardottir!!

As regular readers of this page will know, as co-chair of Welsh writers’ collecteive Crime Cymru, I’m part of the working group for Gŵyl CRIME CYMRU Festival, Wales’ first international crime fiction festival which will be taking place in Aberystwyth next year. And now we have a website where you can find out all about it!

In line with our festival ethos which is to support local businesses, our website has been developed by Aberystwyth company Gwe Cambrian Web. Do pop over and have a look at https://gwylcrimecymrufestival.co.uk/.
