In the last few months I have read short stories at Noir at the Bar – the Sunderland version in November and the Newcastle event in February.

At the Sunderland event I read an updated version of the Six Snake Setter, retitled ‘The Armadillo Arsonist’.

At the Newcastle event I read an abridged version of ‘The Reclamation’.

Check out your local Noir at the Bar – it began in Philadelphia in the US, has spread to various cities across the UK and is a great night out. Readers are drawn at random by people in the crowd. You can even win one of the authors’ books!
