TM vs TM – Battle of the Bestsellers
In the blue corner, with millions of copies sold, TM Logan, master of the up-all-night thriller.
In the red corner, crime fiction queen TM Payne, author of the Detective Sheridan Holler series.
The referee – psychological thriller writer Jackie Kabler, herself a million-copy-plus bestselling author.
Join us as Jackie pitches the two TMs against each other in a discussion about their careers, their writing process and their latest books, culminating in a fun head-to-head finale – but which TM will come out on top?
A FARSLEY LIT FEST 2026 EVENT – Copies of all the authors’ latest books will be available to buy on the evening, with the opportunity to get them signed and dedicated.
