Crime in the City

Join crime writers Linda Hagan, Kerry Buchanan and Kelly Creighton in conversation, talking police procedurals, about their own writing, and their approach to writing crime.

Linda Hagan studied English and Criminal Law at Queens University Belfast before a long career in education. With time on her hands during Covid Lockdown, she took up her pen …
or to be more precise, her keyboard … and started following her first passion – crime, writing it of course.Linda lives in Carrickfergus with husband, Trevor, and mad rescuedog, Hope. When not writing, you will find her watching rugby or Formula 1 or spending time with her three
grandchildren.

Kelly Creighton is the award-winning author of two short story collections, two poetry pamphlets and seven novels, including the critically acclaimed Belfast-based DI Harriet Sloane series.

Kerry Buchanan is a retired veterinary surgeon now living in rural County Down. She writes the Harvey and Birch crime series set in Northern Ireland and published by Joffe Books.

This event is part of National Crime Reading Month, and has been curated by James Murphy.
