Due to technicality issues involving not having a working laptop in London for about three months, there haven't been any blog posts for a while, but I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.
I am late to the game to write about this, but I went to Crime in the Court last Thursday (June 25th), an event held at Goldsboro books, which is a lovely independent bookshop just off Leicester Square which specialises in signed first edition copies.
This was the fourth annual Crime in the Court event, which takes place in the lovely space outside Goldsboro bookshop. Crime writers of all sorts attended the event as well as fans, publishers, publicists, agents. As the publicity agency I work for was responsible for the PR for four of the authors there, it was great to all have an informal chat and a glass of wine.
I have listed the authors who attended below:
Rebecca Whitney, Elizabeth Haynes, Terry Stiastny,
Susan Wilkins, Clare Mackintosh, Antonia Hodgson,
Louise Millar, Christobel Kent, Kate Rhodes,
RC Bridgestock, Charles Cumming, SD Sykes
William Shaw, V.M.Giambanco, Ali Knight
Elly Griffiths, L.C.Tyler, Dreda Say Mitchell & Tony Mason,
Elena Forbes, Julia Crouch, Mick Herron,
Colette McBeth, T.R.Richmond, Vaseem Khan
Jenny Blackhurst, Robin Blake, Sabine Durrant
JS Law, Clare Carson, Erin Kelly,
Jane Lythell, Stuart Prebble, Simon Toyne
Anya Lipska, Fergus McNeill, SJI Holliday,
Helen Giltrow, Claire McGowan, Eva Dolan,
Mark Billingham, SJ Watson, Sharon Bolton,
Renee Knight, David Hewson, Emma Kavanagh,
Sarah Hilary, Alison Joseph, Cal Moriaty,
Saul Black, Diana Bretherick
I highly recommend any crime fans to go next year as it's always great to meet authors whose books you have enjoyed. I even got my copy of
The Insect Farm by Stuart Prebble signed - definitely a highlight!
