Mark Billingham (2), Chris Brookmyre

After a day of serious crime literature, allow Mark Billingham and Christopher Brookmyre to lift the lid on the real world of being a writer. Accompanied by a few drinks in the Norwich Arts Centre bar, prepare yourself for angry letters from readers, backstage shenanigans, nightmarish personal appearances, strong language, very strong language and a disturbing story about a chicken.

In an earlier life Mark starred in Maid Marian and Her Merry Men, before becoming a number one best selling crime author with the Tom Thorne series, while comedy and satire are never far away in Chris’ award-winning, genre-stretching crime fiction.
