Me and - as my co-founder of the festival, @paulwaters.bsky.social put it - ‘my sequel’

Note his pride of place ‘Author’ lanyard. As he would tell you: “I’ve written 7 books, you know!”

Chiltern Kills is a one-day crime-writing festival co-founded by @tonykentwrites.bsky.social & @paulwaters.bsky.social & held every Oct just outside London

Our patron is thriller legend Frederick Forsyth

Every penny raised in ticket sales goes to youth homelessness charity Centrepoint

We laughed, we talked history and class differences, indomitable nuns, and whether foreign authors or their translators should 'pander' to an English-speaking audience. Great evening with Teresa Solana, Peter Bush, @paulwaters.bsky.social at Catalonia House!

Title: Halloween Horror An upper tier of images labelled "Horrifying" and a lower tier labelled "Utterly Horrifying" The first column has a floating skull above, and a floating skull who borrows books and never returns them below. The second column has an evil fog above, and an evil fog with some really awful opinions below. (the fog is saying "we've got the internet so we don't need libraries") The final column has a slime fiend above, and a slime fiend who browses bookshops then buys online below.

Halloween Horror!!
