Vanda Symon tours the West Coast next week

As part of the New Zealand Book Month celebrations, acclaimed Kiwi crime queen Vanda Symon (whose latest Sam Shephard tale, BOUND, debuted at the #1 spot earlier this year, and has remained on the NZ bestseller list since) will be touring the West Coast next week.

Symon will be giving a series of author talks at local libraries.

It's great to see our local crime writers getting out and talking directly with readers, and I'm sure that those who head along to any of Symon's events will have a terrific time - as all of us who attended last year's Whodunnit and Whowunnit event in Christchurch (where Symon, along with Paul Cleave and Neil Cross, spoke) did.

Here are the event details for Symon's West Coast tour:

VENUE: Westland District Library, Hokitika.
DATE: 28th March
TIME: 5.45pm - 6.45pm

VENUE: Grey District Library, Greymouth
DATE: 29th March
TIME: 3.00pm - 4.00pm

VENUE: Buller District Library, Westport
DATE: 30th March
TIME: 1.00pm - 2.00pm
