Very excited to announce the launch of Murder In Merton: Crime Writing Events across the London Borough of Merton. I’ve been running author events with the Friends of West Barnes Library in Motspur Park for a few years, and now, I’m branching out to other parts of the borough. I’ll be partnering with Merton Libraries and Wimbledon Bookfest to make this happen. Thank you to Fiona Razvi from Wimbledon Bookfest and Silvia Leal de Oliveira at Merton Libraries.
June is Crime Reading Month with the CWA and the Reading Agency. It’s therefore a great time to start Murder In Merton with three events. Check out crimereading.com to see what’s going on in your local area for June.
Saturday 10th June 2-4pm at West Barnes Library – An Authors’ Fair
With Sarah Clarke, Lucy Martin, Biba Pearce, M L Rose, Amer Anwar & Alex Khan. There will be books available to buy and the opportunity to chat with the authors.
2:15pm Author introductions
3:00pm Amer Anwar will talk about his writing career.
Refreshments will be provided for a small cost. And there’ll be a competition to enter. No booking or entry fee – just turn up and stay as long as you like!
Tuesday 20th June – Crime in the Library at Wimbledon Library – 7-8.15pm.
I’ll be interviewing Saima Mir (The Khan), Olivia Kiernan (The End Of Us) and Robert Gold (Eleven Liars) about their latest novels. Entry is free but you must book. To do so click here.
Saturday 24th June – Introduction to Crime Writing at Wimbledon Library 11.30-1.30
I’ll be running a beginner’s workshop along with Biba Pearce. If you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at crime writing or maybe you’ve been writing for a while and would like some feedback, then here’s your chance. £20 for the session but there are some limited free tickets for unwaged/low-income customers. To fund out more, click here.
There’ll be more from Murder In Merton throughout the year and some of you may have spotted a separate page for it here on my blog. I’ll keep it updated with future events. Hope to see you at any of the events above!
