I loved being part of The Scottish Book Trust’s Book Week Scotland last year, so am super delighted to have been asked to join in again this year.
Book Week Scotland is about celebrating books and reading in every part of life in Scotland. Between 25 November and 1 December 2013, people of all ages and of all walks of life will be able to come together in libraries, schools, community venues and workplaces to share and enjoy books and reading. They will be joined in this celebration by Scotland’s authors, poets, playwrights, storytellers and illustrators to bring a packed programme of free projects and events to life.
Tuesday the 26th November (7.30pm) : I’ll be at the lovely St Ninian’s Library just outside Stirling, talking about the inspiration behind the writing of The Blue Suitcase and Food of Ghosts.
Come and find out what links these two very different books! Contact the Click here for more details ands to book your place. :)
Wednesday the 27th November: As part of Book
Week Scotland and BLOODY SCOTLAND on Tour, I’ll be in Lasswade with fellow crime writers Aline Templeton and Alex Gray. We’ll be talking about all sorts of dastardly things! Do come and join us!
Lasswade Library, 7pm 19 Eskdale Drive, Bonnyrigg, EH19 2LA - 0131 271 4534 Free and not ticketed.

You are having a very busy time, Marianne. As always, It’s a shame I live too far away to hear you talk about the inspiration behind your books… but at least I have read about it on your blog.
Thanks, Wendy
It is a funny thing about being a writer, it seems you have to spend as much time talking about your writing as actually writing. Just as well I like talking ;o)
Sounds fun, Marianne. Wish I could come!
Thanks, Belinda. I’m sure it will be and I wish you (and Wendy) could come too
Hi Marianne,
They sound like super events to be involved with, and so good for inspiring readers and writers. I’m sure your talks will be really interesting – one day I must get to hear you!
Hi Ruth, yes, we are very lucky here in Scotland there is so much support for writers and readers. Long may it continue. Would be great to see you here, or maybe even there, here you are!
