There’s a lot of excitement here at Confessions of a Mystery Novelist…!!!! June is just about upon us and that means… it’s Crime Fiction Month! This year, as a special way of celebrating the occasion, I am truly honoured to join Rhian Davies of It’s a Crime! (…or a Mystery) in co-hosting a month-long celebration of the life and work of Reginald Hill. As crime fiction fans know, Hill was a powerful force within the genre. Among many other things, he created the Dalziel and Pascoe series, which remains one of the most popular of crime fiction series. He also wrote many standalones.
All month long, Rhian and I will be hosting a terrific set of contributors (My sincere thanks to all of you!) who have provided their book reviews, personal recollections, discussions of Hill’s impact on the genre, and lots more. Oh, and did I mention there’ll be competitions? Yup. There will be. Want to join the party? Ya know ya do! Come and visit during June at Celebrating Reginald Hill!!! Pass it on, too – the more, the merrier 
Hey! What are you still doing here when you could be partying with us! See you there
Looking forward to reading the posts Margot. Sending you my contribution tomorrow.
Sarah – I am so pleased you’ll be contributing and I very much look forward to reading your post.
I’ve gone there and signed up for the posts.
Clarissa – Thank you
I hope you’ll enjoy!
I haven’t read the series, but watched several episodes of the TV show on dvd — and loved them. How well-done. Andy Dalziel is a riot, smart, cantankerous, etc. Maybe these posts will get me into those books — although my TBR list (and pile) are humongous.
Kathy – I really do hope you’ll enjoy our special blog. And trust me… I know all about groaning TBR piles!
Margot: I jumped over to the new blog. It has a clean attractive welcoming appearance. I will be back to follow the posts.
Bill – So glad you like what you see at the Reg Hill blog. I’ll look forward to your visits there.
Congratulations, Margot and Rhian. I have read a lot of Hill’s novels, but before I started reviewing. I’ll look forward to being reminded of them.
Maxine – Thank you
I hope you’ll enjoy our tribute to Hill’s work. I’m honoured to be a part of it and I’ll look forward to your visits to our blog.
One of my favorites!
Patti – Wasn’t he incredibly talented?! I hope you’ll enjoy our blog.
