Sure 'tis all comely maidens frolicking at the crossroads up North these days ... not that you'd know it from reading Garbahn Downey, Brian McGilloway, Sam Millar and 'Big' Adrian McKinty ... Seamus Smyth's originally a Belfast lad ... Eoin McNamee writes stonking thrillers when he's not masquerading as Creed ... and you could always try Brian Moore's Lies of Silence and The Colour of Blood ... oh, and Jack Holland qualifies under the grandparent-ish ruling ...

I know a horror writer or two from up North but (besides Colin Bateman) have read little crime. Is Eoin MacNamee any good when writing as John Creed? Are the Creed books even set in NI? Am I likely to get kneecapped if I stop on a Belfast street corner and ask the lads there if they know wheere I cane experience some crime? <BR/><BR/>Lemme know!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938060587020568315.post-86259752295742190572007-05-23T01:49:00.000+01:002007-05-23T01:49:00.000+01:00Adrian -It's a long way from 'Dekkers' I was raise...Adrian -<BR/><BR/>It's a long way from 'Dekkers' I was raised ... I'll settle for Deckard, though ... If you're up for doing a Q&A, drop me a mail at the gmail address under my profile ... also, there's plans afoot for a Crime Writers Ireland, Ken Bruen's leading the charge ... let me know if you're interested.
