Paul Thomas touring New Zealand during Book Month

Along with being part of what should be a terrific New Zealand crime fiction event in Wellington at the New Zealand International Arts Festival, award-winning Kiwi crime writer Paul Thomas will also be making a number of other appearances around the country in March. Audiences across the country will get a chance to meet Thomas and hear him talk about DEATH ON DEMAND, his first crime novel in a decade.

Thanks to Karen at Hachette, I can now share Thomas's official itinerary with Crime Watch readers:

MARCH – Paul Thomas
New Zealand author and columnist Paul Thomas’ seven works of fiction include three novels featuring maverick cop Tito Ihaka which were republished by Hodder Moa in 2009 as The Ihaka Trilogy. His work has been widely published internationally and translated into several languages. Death on Demand, his latest novel, is crime writing at its original and humorous best, with a distinct kiwi flavour. All events will allow time for questions from the audience and book signing.
