Children’s writers M G Leonard and Sam Sedgman love trains so much they are writing a new series of adventures taking place on amazing railways across the globe. Hear how they had the idea for the first book, The Highland Falcon Thief, in which 11-year-old Harrison Beck gets to travel on the royal steam train, but, when a priceless diamond is stolen, is plunged into a puzzling mystery.
They will share their love of steam engines, talk about how to construct a mystery, and explain why they chose a detective who loves to draw as the hero of their books. Bring a suitcase full of questions and enjoy the ride.
Leonard is the bestselling author of the Beetle Boy trilogy and an Oxford Literary Festival favourite. Sedgman is a novelist, playwright and award-winning digital producer. He is a lifelong train and mystery enthusiast.
