Much-loved worldwide for his warm-hearted No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series, featuring the no-nonsense Precious Ramotswe – Botswana’s leading (and only) female detective – writer Alexander McCall Smith is joined in conversation by crime writer Angela Savage.
McCall Smith, who now lives in Edinburgh, has also won over readers with his Sunday Philosophy Club, Scotland Street and Corduroy Mansion series. His books have been translated into over 40 languages; the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency series alone has sold over 20 million copies, and been made into an HBO TV show.
The Forever Girl is his latest standalone novel. Set in the Cayman Islands and UK, this globe trotting love story is sure to garner the author a million more new fans. Appearing at the Wheeler Centre shortly after the book’s release, this is a wonderful opportunity to experience the international phenomenon that is the McCall Smith imagination, by spending an evening in the company of the world’s most jovial and prolific storytellers.
Alexander McCall Smith, author of the 44 Scotland Street novels, shows Sarah Crown around Edinburgh's New Town, where many of his books are set, and introduces her to some of the locations - and even some of the characters - who appear in the pages

Mockery and contempt for others, unleashed in the name of free speech, are creating a toxic environment where respect and decency are unlamented relics of the past. We have ignored the 'dumbing down' of education and abandoned parts of our cities to drugs, alcohol and violence. As long as they remain insulated in middle class ghettos, our politicians can ignore this. But we can't afford to give up on the ideal of a more civilized and equal society. To live together in healthy communities, we need to put a stop to the culture of alcohol, aggression and the glorification of violence. Hear a literary great speak about a topic that is very close to his heart.
Alexander McCall Smith is a celebrated novelist and creator of the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency series which has sold over 20 million copies.

Alexander McCall Smith's stories about Botswana's number one lady detective, Precious Rabotswe, have sold millions. Now he wants to change our perceptions of Africa. Virtuous, hardworking Precious Rabotswe represents a side of African life little reported on in the developed world. Through her fictional adventures, McCall Smith is painting a sunnier, more optimistic view of Africa. "The West took a great deal from Africa," he reasons. "I'm trying to do as much as I can to address that.

Alexander (R.A.A.) "Sandy" McCall Smith, CBE, FRSE, (born 24 August 1948) is a Rhodesian-born Scottish writer and Emeritus Professor of Medical Law at the University of Edinburgh. In the late 20th century, McCall Smith became a respected expert on medical law and bioethics and served on British and international committees concerned with these issues. He has since become internationally known as a writer of fiction. He is most widely known as the creator of the The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series.
Alexander McCall Smith was born in Bulawayo, in what was then Southern Rhodesia and is now Zimbabwe. His father worked as a public prosecutor in what was then a British colony. He was educated at the Christian Brothers College before moving to Scotland to study law at the University of Edinburgh, where he received his Ph.D. in law.
He soon taught at Queen's University Belfast, and while teaching there he entered a literary competition: one a children's book and the other a novel for adults. He won in the children's category, and published thirty books in the 1980s and 1990s.
