I’m leaving for the UK, to attend the Harrogate Crime Writing Festival.  I hope to be blogging from the road, so here’s hoping I can manage to find enough wi-fi coverage to use my new laptop.  I’m looking forward to catching up with some writing pals, including Joe Finder, Jeffrey Deaver and Simon Kernick, plus get the chance to meet some writers I’ve never met before, including the mysterious Andy McNab.

 While I’m gone, you can also check out my blogpost on Murderati, which will appear next Tuesday, the 15th.
