The Mountains to Sea literary festival takes place this weekend 
from Thurday 11th Sept to Sunday 14th of September, and as 
always it's something of a smorgasbord. I'm delighted to see that 
there's a very strong Irish crime writing presence lined up, 
three of whom are debutants. 

Lee Child , interviewed by the inimitable Declan Hughes, leads the charge. 
Lee, who claims his Irishness under a variation on FIFA’s ‘grandparent rule’, 
will also have a short story in the BELFAST NOIR (Akashic Books) anthology
later this year.
Elsewhere, the line-up includes Sinead Crowley (CAN ANYBODY HELP ME?),
Karen Perry (THE BOY THAT NEVER WAS), Liz Nugent (UNRAVELLING OLIVER) and Jane Casey (THE KILL). In addition to her appearance
at the festival, Jane Casey will also host a writing workshop.
