My Next Talk at Kinghorn Library

Some of you may be a bit confused by the name change but Diggins is my married name, Diana Jackson is my penname but was also my maiden name. Most folks around here in Kinghorn know me as Diana Diggins.

Do pop into the library to reserve your ticket.

Research ~ Curious Coincidences and Poignant Parallels

ukiNDIElITFESTDianaDo you enjoy research? Do you encounter surprises which make you think, smile or even send shivers down your spine. I certainly do.

At the UK Indie Literary Festival on July 23rd I will be sharing many of the interesting and sometimes strange encounters whilst researching for my novels. Why don’t you come along?

There are many authors reading and giving workshops and talks at the event.

‘Unsolved Case of Body in Wilstead Woods’ ~ Beds on Sunday Reporter writes …

I’m celebrating being featured in the Beds on Sunday local newspaper! Great article and I do appreciate their time, especially the photographer who was very patient with me, taking shots in various poses in The Swan Hotel, Bedford – in the library of course, in the lobby, up the staircase and out the back. The week had been a bit stressful and I had not had much sleep,  thus the photo in the paper is a bit severe – perhaps they wanted me to look serious and a bit frightening – spooky lighting maybe:

Their online version photo is much more flattering (when you are not too photogenic you can’t help being a bit over sensitive – hubby says ‘Don’t worry – You look fine in real life’ – charming!)

What is all the fuss about. Well, if you have an hour or so to spare next Monday at 2 pm I will be at The Swan Hotel giving a talk ‘Murder in the Library‘ followed by cake and tea and a chance to have a chat and sign a few copies of ‘Murder, Now and Then‘. A very English happening in a charming English hotel. What are you waiting for? Here are the details:
