Peter James re-elected as CWA Chair

The best-selling crime writer is the first-ever CWA Chair to be elected on consecutive years

He is also the second-ever CWA Chair (out of the past 59) to be elected for a second term.

Peter said: 'The Crime Writers' Association, which includes many of our finest and most popular writers among its membership, is a wonderful and flourishing organisation.  I am deeply honoured to have been re-elected its Chair for this second term, and look forward to helping steer the way forwards through the challenging times we face in publishing, and to lead it into its Diamond Jubilee year in 2013.'

The latest issue of Writing Magazine features a fantastic, in-depth interview with Peter in which he discusses the process of constructing crime fiction, and his latest novel, Not Dead Yet, which is published on 7 June.
