David Ford

He will be discussing his short story collection as well as giving tips for writing gripping short stories yourself.
Stef Lyons
Time, place, and an interesting dinner party. Three things all crime fiction needs. Join writer Stef Lyons as they talk about how a real-life haunted house, a fascination with the past, and a love of food helped create their historical crime novel, Coppers End.
Neil Price
Neil’s obsession with family history inspired this, his first book. Dickens’s Favourite Blacking Factory is the extraordinary story of Charles Day, a self-made boot-blacking entrepreneur, the dispute over whose will led Dickens to create the endless case of ‘Jarndyce and Jarndyce’ in Bleak House. This is a remarkable and highly-imaginative telling of a true story.
Maria Chamberlain
Maria is the daughter of two Holocaust survivors. She was born after WWII in Kraków, Poland, and emigrated with her parents in 1958 at the age of eleven to settle in Edinburgh. Her recent book, Never Tell Anyone You’re Jewish, is about family history: a testimony and a tribute to those members of her family that survived, and those that did not.
Lewine Mair
Lewine is an award-winning sports journalist and author. Her late husband, Norman Mair, played rugby and cricket for Scotland and was also a well-known and respected journalist who covered rugby and golf for the Scotsman.
Lewine's book, Tapping Feet, describes Norman's dementia - in particular his last two years in a local care home. The chapters can prompt anything from tears to laughter.
