Great to see @kate_kemp bringing an antipodean touch to the hugely popular Critics' New Blood panel at @HarrogateFest #TheakstonsCrime in the UK over the weekend. Kate joins the likes of fellow ANZ authors @hammerNow, @emstylesauthor, and @MBennettBooks as New Blood alumni.
It’s high noon for the Critics’ New Blood panel, featuring @SpacemanDan13 AE Goldin @kate_kemp and @RobBurnett, with Mick Herron as chair. #TheakstonsCrime

“I’m tempted to revisit the setting and the characters, and Tammy is one of them,” says @kate_kemp “I’m in the thick of writing something else now but I wouldn’t rule out revisiting them.” #TheakstonCrime

I agree this was a brilliant panel - such talented authors and expertly chaired by Mick Heron. You will want to read them all. 👇
A highlight of yesterday at #TheakstonsCrime, Critic’s New Blood with @kate_kemp @SpacemanDan13 @RobBurnett & A E Goldin interviewed by Mick Herron. On writing location from a distance and characters searching for identity against a backdrop of conflict both intimate and global.

Great fun taking part in the murder mystery penned by Mick Herron at the #TheakstonsCrime author dinner. I was a demure Penny Cashback at the retirement home for spies with suspects @DoughtyLouise @VaseemKhanUK & @kate_kemp. Now I can die saying I starred in a Mick Herron play.

So good to hear #TheGrapeVine celebrated, this ‘unashamedly feminist’ novel. So much to love here: coming of age, 70s suburbia, simmering secrets, the workings of power and the working of ants. Can’t wait to read more from @kate_kemp

What a gorgeous and in-depth review! Thank you so much @SandraMangan_ and @CriFiLover 🍇📞🧡🦶🏼🐜
New on the site - The Grapevine by @kate_kemp reviewed https://t.co/kLedw9pYR5 It's fascinating when a 12-year-old ant-loving girl starts investigating the discovery of a human foot in suburban Canberra. What a debut, says @SandraMangan_ 🇦🇺
