If you live in or near Hastings, do come along and hear me talk about the forthcoming TV adaptation of my debut novel, The Rumour, my long journey to publication, and how I write psychological thrillers. More details and ticket information coming soon!

I’m delighted to be returning to the Low House LitFest in Laxfield, Suffolk this June. This delightful festival is run in conjunction with Halesworth Books.. More details, including panel time, coming soon!

Do join me at this wonderful book festival that runs from the 20 to 28 June. I will be appearing on a panel on the Tuesday evening with fellow crime fiction authors, T.M Logan and Nikki Smith. The full programme will be published in May, when tickets will be available to purchase. Do check the website for further details.

“Thriller writers reveal the tricks of their genre. Lesley Kara, whose Sunday Times bestseller The Rumour is being adapted for TV, introduces her new tale of menace, The Other Tenant. The author from Tunbridge Wells is in conversation with Emma Cook, whose debut novel You Can't Hurt Me follows a ghost writer obsessed with the mystery of a woman born unable to feel pain. Emma Cook has also published two non-fiction titles, Ask Your Father and 5:2 Your Life. She is Assistant Editor at Observer Magazine.”

I’m very much looking forward to this athor event which will be held at Tipton Library. It’s free to attend and I’d absolutely love to see you there if you’re in the area. I was scheduled to do this last October, but unfortunately I had Covid and couldn’t attend.

I will be in this lovely little independent bookshop this morning to sign copies of my books. Do drop in to say hello if you are in the area. I’d love to meet you!
