I’m really excited to be appearing on the #NewVoices panel this year at BeaconLit festival on Saturday July 13th. Here is what the programme says:
9.35am-10.25am New Voices
Jane Wenham-Jones introduces three hot new talents: West Camel, Noelle Holten and Fiona Vigo Marshall. Meet some of the rising stars of the literary world in this ever-popular panel.

I will also be signing some books (limited number as the paperback is not actually out until August 22nd 2019 – woohoo!) The ebook of my debut novel, Dead Inside was published May 31st and is currently 99p/99c for a limited time. You can find out more by clicking the picture below – not an affiliate link.
The whole programme is pretty spectacular and I’ll be hanging around for most of the day, so please say HELLO if you’re there!
On Thursday July 18th I will be travelling down to Harrogate and I can’t wait to catch up with fellow bloggers, friends, brush up on my #authorstalking skills and shouting out about Dead Inside, Bookouture and crime fiction! Please do say hello if you’re there too!
Back to BeaconLit though – here is the whole programme, website link and if you are interested, tickets are still available so treat yourself to a day or murder and mayhem!
