News from Crimefest 2012 ...



-          

      Thomas Enger walks over to introduce himself to Lee Child. Thomas opens his mouth to speak. A seagull shits on them both. Not ideal, but something to tell the family.
-         
      Steve Mosby takes a walk for a late night ciggie. Is asked to hold a policeman’s horse while the policeman goes inside for a piss.
-          
     The local late-night kebab shop runs out of meat after visits from hungry crime writers/ readers/ reviewers.
-          
     BLOOD TEARS from one Michael J. Malone (who he?)sells out in the festival bookshop.
-          
I    It is announced that the super-talented Declan Burke wins The Goldsboro Last Laugh Award with the frankly wonderful Absolute Zero Cool. Go buy it now – and see what comic genius looks like.

What else do you need to know?

Only 8 weeks to go till it all starts up again at Harrogate. Wuhoo.

  3. Great to finally meet you, squire. Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. The highlight quote remains, "Is that a typo on your shoe?" But it was pretty good all round.

    Cheers, Dec

    1. Likewise, Dec. And the shoe thing was funny. Can't remember the word that was mispelt.
