I’m pretty sure it was Declan Hughes they actually wanted, and someone got their wires crossed along the way, but it seems I’ve been pencilled in for a nice gig next Thursday, November 13, talking crime fiction in some rather glamorous company. To wit:
Crime Always Pays: Join Three Crime Writers for a Criminal Conversation
Who: Declan Burke, author of THE BIG O; Alex Barclay (right), who signed a high six-figure sum with Harper Collins for DARKHOUSE; journalist Niamh O’Connor, author of THE BLACK WIDOW.
What: Learn about crime fiction and true crime writing.
Where: United Arts Club, 3 Upper Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin 2.
When: 8 p.m. Thursday 13 November.
Cost: €3 members & €5 non-members.
Places limited. Booking essential: email irishpen@ireland.com or phone 087 966 0770
The ever-radiant Alex Barclay, incidentally, has her latest novel,
BLOOD RUNS COLD, arriving on a bookshelf near you any day soon. Hmmm. BLOOD RUNS HOT might be a more appropriate title, but then I’m a sexist pig, so what do I know?

Could be your bribe was better than his?
ReplyDeleteMadam, how dare you cast aspersions on Mr Hughes' integrity? The man is a paragon of virtue. Which is marvellous when you're bribing against him ...
ReplyDeleteCheers, Dec
Some of these upright types may not even realise the way forward and forget to bribe altogether.
