I’ve got a few events planned so far for 2024, and even a couple pencilled in for 2025, so keep checking back here for news of other events as they come in. I’ve added links to order tickets where possible. 

If you’d like to invite me to take part at an event, please write to me using the contact form, or email Sian Baldwin at Orion

This isn’t just some random photo of me drinking.

It’s a picture of me drinking a Paris Requiem cocktail, created especially by the Y Bañera bar in Aberystwyth for the 2023 Gwyl Crime Cymru Festival.

I’m very proud to have been on the organising committee for Wales’s first ever international crime fiction festival… so I was drinking to celebrate.
