I'm opening the Bloody Scotland festival this year on the Friday afternoon with a SETTING THE (CRIME) SCENE event with Simon Toyne and Allan Gaw, chaired by the wonderful Professor James Grieve. Info and tickets: https://bit.ly/3IpzG1l ##BloodyScotland #CrimeFiction

Didn't know what to do today and I caught sight of my horoscope. I don't believe in this stuff, but the advice was 'don't do anything until after Sunday'. And on a Friday afternoon, that's probably the best advice anyone will ever get. Have a great weekend guys.
