I have spoken at the Agatha Christie International Festival in Torquay on Agatha Christie’s London and Poirot’s London. I have delivered talks to a variety of local organisations and groups both on Agatha Christie and London history. To date the most unusual location has been speaking at Brompton Cemetery, in West London, for London Month of the Dead. I have researched and presented papers at various Agatha Christie and Golden Age of Crime Fiction conferences. For a complete list of conference paper titles, please see publications. I am available for talks about Christie, her life and her writing
