Crime Beat: The buzz
Coming up next week Liz Fletcher will be writing about Angela Makholwa’s Lucy Khambule in Red Ink; Stanley Trollip has written a wrap on the Michael Stanley promo tour of the US; and we’ll post the final piece (from Gerard Brennan) in our Irish Crime Fiction Season.
A fascinating titbit from last night’s launch of Deon Meyer’s Trackers is that his best sellers in the US have been Heart of the Hunter and Thirteen Hours. Now what does that say about US readers?
Some upcoming stuff: Margie Orford’s at the Book Lounge, Cape Town on Tuesday 25 October at 5.30 for 6pm to launch her latest, Gallow’s Hill. Margie also has two other launch dates: in Johannesburg on 2 November (contact Jenny & Co) and the next day at Kalk Bay Books, Cape Town.
On Thursday 27 at Hout Bay Library for a mammoth session from 6 – 9pm will be Joanne Hichens and Peter Church talking about writing crime thrillers and the life of a writer.
Do keep an eye on the Crime Beat Facebook page as we’ll be posting shorter stuff there as well as photographs and the music that’s featured in SA krimis.
