What a brilliant night, a huge thank you to everyone who came to our event in the George Hotel with M.W. Craven.

This was the second event in the Cumbrian tour for his new book The Killer’s Mark, the 8th book in The Washington Poe series.

A warm night with another fantastic interview from author Chris McDonald with lots of laughs and humour. Chris also signed copies of his books.

After Q&A from the audience Mike signed copies of his books and even some of his limited edition tote bags. On walking back to his car he couldn’t resist a picture with his brief case and Paddington!!

If you missed the event and would like a signed copy or a tote bag these are now available in the shop.
