I’m absolutely thrilled to be taking part in the Terror Australis International Crime and Mystery Digital Festival on 27-28 November 2021.
Due to the pandemic, TAF2021 | CSI: TASMANIA is online again this year, which means it’s accessible to anyone with a laptop and a ticket!
Speaking of tickets…

At that price, each of the 15 author interviews and panel discussions costs just $6 a session.
I’m taking part in the fabulous crime and mystery book shenanigans with:
- Day 1 – The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: a panel discussion on the many versions of Sherlock Holmes, with fellow panelists Atlin Merrick, Clan Destine Press publisher, Lindy Cameron, and wonderful Tasmanian crime authors L.J.M. Owen and Tansy Rayner Roberts.
