Fancy some graphic novels? Geeks.co.uk reviews Denise Mina's A SICKNESS IN THE FAMILY, as well as some Sherlock Holmes adventures, including VICTORIAN UNDEAD: SHERLOCK HOLMES VS ZOMBIES. And Broken Frontier also reviews SICKNESS.
If you live in Tyneside, how about an evening with Stuart MacBride on February 3rd? No zombies...probably.
A review of Graham Moore's THE SHERLOCKIAN, and THE HOLMES AFFAIR and the blog In Which I Read Vintage Novels reviews John Buchan's THE THREE HOSTAGES. Keith Walters really enjoyed Craig Robertson's RANDOM, and reviews over at Eurocrime for M C Beaton's AGATHA RAISIN AND THE BUSY BODY and Grant McKenzie's SWITCH.
Talking of John Buchan, here's his grandson on the 39 steps to writing the perfect thriller.
Louise Welsh will be giving a reading at the University of Glasgow on Tuesday 18th January.
Allan Guthrie has a new blog E-Books That Sell.
It looks as though Alexander McCall Smith is going to be busy again next year. As well as the Aye Write gig, there's a musical night with him in Edinburgh on March 4th, and he's appearing at the William and Mary College in Colonial Williamsburg on April 7th.
Better hurry up if you want tickets for a special screening of TRAINSPOTTING on 2nd February.
And, finally, I do wish Glasgow could have its own Superhero like Seattle does. Given the latest bizarre twist to the Tommy Sheridan perjury trial, I think Glasgow's should be a wee yellow and black striped hero called Spelling Bee.

Donna, methinks a hero Spelling Bee would be an excellent choice, after reading that perjury trial twist! But who knows, someone would make a big fly swatter or some other anti-hero weapon, and the fight would be on. :-) Or maybe Denise Mina could make a graphic novel about the superhero bee? Bobbie
ReplyDeleteBobbie - love the idea of the big fly swatter :o)What a great Superhero...
