Secrets of Crime
I am also part of the collective known as SECRETS OF CRIME. This is a group of published crime writers, all living in the west of England and Wales. They are available to give talks about how crime fiction is created, the plots, ideas, characters, etc. Others include Russell James, Phil Rickman and Gillian Linscott.
