Dismembering the Facts: a Conversation with Billy Crimerton
Set in the atmospheric church at Wynd’s End, award-winning crime writer Billy Crimerton will be joining Marie Chairs for an in-depth discussion about the bloody details of writing crime fiction. Having just published his fourth novel, The Perfect Crime, Crimerton is accustomed to paying attention to the finer points of the business of murder, where every scene has its purpose and no one is completely innocent. In this intimate evening event, Crimerton will shed light on what it feels like to play god on the page and talk us through how he takes the little details and uses them to turn a simple story premise into a layered and captivating novel that rings true to life and sends chills up the readers’ spine. Chairs will begin the discussion by asking the questions everyone wants answered, but later in the evening she will throw open the floor and invite you to ask your own. Book your free ticket now! And after the event, stick around and enjoy a complimentary drink and chat about The Perfect Crime while waiting for your chance to have your book signed by the master crime writer himself.
