Alongside the big names, Cheltenham Literature Festival provides opportunities for local writers to discuss their books. I was delighted to be invited to speak about my debut historical crime novel Paying in Blood, and read sections in public for the first time - a dream come true!
As well as sharing past experiences that inspired me to write in the first place, I talked about how the courage and resilience of the historical characters in the book inspired me to keep going, despite setbacks including breast cancer.
Sharpe Books published Paying in Blood in March 2024, and will publish two further Alexander Baxby mysteries next year.
