Those of you in the greater Dublin area could do a lot worse on Tuesday evening than take a jaunt in to Waterstone’s on Dawson Street, where two of Ireland’s finest scribes, Brian McGilloway (right) and Declan Hughes, will be doing a joint reading, from BLEED A RIVER DEEP and ALL THE DEAD VOICES, respectively. Proceedings kick-off at 6.30pm. My advice, Brian? Go first. Try reading after Hughes and you’ll end up looking a right plum. That boy can project … The Brian and Declan Show then heads north to Belfast and No Alibis, on Thursday evening, kick-off at 7pm …Meanwhile, another double-act, Gene Kerrigan and The Artist Formerly Known as Colin Bateman, grace Galway’s Cuirt festival with their presence as they promote their latest tomes, DARK TIMES IN THE CITY and MYSTERY MAN, respectively. They’ll be reading, cracking gags and soft-shoe shuffling from 6.30pm at the Town Hall venue, on Friday, April 24th.
Man, I need to get myself a side-kick. Any volunteers?

You could always hook up with McFetridge again, except for two things:
1. He's on the wrong side of the pond.
2. There are too many outstanding warrants out for the two of you since your North American tour to Bouchercon last year.
You and McFetridge could turn yourselves in and then do a joint tour (love that pun!) of American prisons. It worked a treat for Johnny Cash.
