About
This blog started in 2006 on the Typepad platform, mainly written by crimeficreader (Rhian Davies). It started in that year to share my experience of a visit to the Harrogate Crime Writing Festival and is now on WordPress following my seventh visit to the festival in 2011, with the 183 previous book posts intact on transfer.
I have sought out debut authors and the blog has concentrated on these, supporting them wherever possible. As a result, I have been one of the judges for the CWA’s John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger Award for the last two years. The award is for an author of a crime novel published for the first time in English in the UK.
From 2012, I am now a member of the Crime Writers’ Association.

I get excited about finding new talent and lesser known talent, and hope that you will join me in these discoveries.

Hi Rhian
Have sent you an email re Black December — let me know if you’d like a Kindle copy sent direct. Best Rgds, Scott
Hi Scott, I have checked and can’t see it. Could you resend please? Thanks.
This is a great Blog, Rhian I am impressed AF
Thank you! And good to catch up with you again after so many years.
While reading your blog I found two books not yet published in the US, Elly Griffiths’ A Room Full of Bones, and Jim Kelly’s Death’s Door. What I really like about these two authors is the way they evoke the setting, the marshland, the coast, all of that. Do you know of any DVDs that were filmed around there? I have never been.
I’m sorry I don’t off the top of my head, but will ask around for you. Thanks for leaving the comment.
