Harrogate’s Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival 2024: Awards Thursday

At the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in 2024

This year’s visit to the Crime Writing Festival was brief, but when you live in Harrogate, it’s simply too good an opportunity to miss – even if only for a short time. We had to cut our visit short as we’re heading to a campervan festival tomorrow that we had already booked before realising it clashed with the festival.

Despite the limited time, it was fantastic to meet fellow local book blogger Sara. We discovered that we follow each other’s dog accounts on Instagram and share a passion for books, all while living in the same town!

It was also a pleasure to catch up with C. M. Ewan and personally thank him for sending me copies of One Wrong Turn and The House Hunt.

Congratulations and best of luck to all the authors with books releasing today or soon, and to those participating in panels this weekend. Have a great time to all the readers attending! Please save some signed copies for me to pick up on Monday 😅
