No, I’m not cursing the weather…I’m actually going to the festival!

Now in it’s fifth year, Bloody Scotland is a celebration of all things dark and dangerous in Scottish fiction. Tartan Noir is one of our biggest exports (after whisky). My own writing veers more to the Domestic Noir side; more creeping dread than hack and slash!

I’ve been lucky enough to land a ‘Spotlight on Crime’ slot. I’ll have 3 minutes (and only 3) to make an impact on an audience which has paid to see Lin Anderson, Doug Johnstone and Louise Welsh. (Cue rotten fruit). Let’s hope Beneath the Skin can talk the talk!
