A very happy publication day to one of #ChilternKills favourite ‘regulars’, the always brilliant Vaseem Khan and his latest, no doubt soon to be award winning Malabar House Mystery - City of Destruction. (Although he doesn’t seem to be on here yet, so we probably could have skipped him…)

A very happy paperback publication day to one of #ChilternKills favourite authors, the brilliant @neillancaster66.bsky.social #TheDevilYouKnow is the latest in the wildly successful #MaxCraigie series, simultaneously the most exciting AND most realistic police procedural series being written today

Come for the writers and for the good cause. Stay for the food, the fun, the festivities and - for want of another ‘f’ - the very boozy “How To Murder A Song’ after party where everyone sings their heart out until midnight!!

The most out-there panel of @chilternkills.bsky.social - Secret Barrister exposed! Who’d have thought our favourite legal bunny was The Bill’s Lisa Maxwell Joking aside, Lisa & Louise Minchin played a blinder to make this one work & @barristersecret.bsky.social was their usual brilliant self!

And a little while later I WAS sharper! I even had my sunglasses on. I had this down, this video-blogging thing. Why did people keep saying it was so hard? Proper doddle…

And then…I forgot for 5 hours or so. Because, frankly, who has the time!?!? Life is for living, not recording. Or at least that’s what I told the @chilternkills.bsky.social committee when they asked where the hell all my promised videos were!! I even stopped this one too early!!

And then…there was this one. The end. 4 hours later. Well, the end of the non-drunken karaoke part, anyway. Sorry, @chilternkills.bsky.social. I’ll go better next year. By which I mean I won’t volunteer to do the videos in the first place!! That way everybody’s happy!!
