The verdict is in! Bloody Scotland, the first crime fiction festival held in Scotland, is reported to have been a great success. The local paper, the Stirling Observer, were very pleased to have had this event take place in their back yard.
The brainchild of Lin Anderson and Alex Gray, the festival ran from Sept. 14 to 16. The BBC News online provides a look at novelists Alex Gray and Caro Ramsay.
The Daily Record hailed the festival as a success, providing links to several interesting video clips in which festival participants are interviewed.
The Daily Record also focused on Alex Gray, and how she consulted with a pathologist while researching her novel.
Finally, online blogger Bookwitch provides an excellent summary of the festival, complete with many photographs.
On another note, in case you missed it, here's the Guardian UK on an author's apparent descent from near-fame to shame as a result of the sock puppet scandal.
Finally, I invite you to read my recent interview with New York-based book manager Lori Higham on Newsblog, in which I discuss the writing process, influences, and more: http://enewsblogs.com/literature/michael-mccann-marcies-murder/
