A day on the ocean wave

Well, what a day! The sea was calm, the sky was blue, the Captain was handsome, the crew were magnificent, and the customers kept coming, as we sailed back and forth the Solent on the Wightlink Ferry, St Clare, on 31 May.



I think this must be the first eight-hour marathon book-signing event on board a car ferry. My book signing session was the brainchild of The Hayling Island Book Shop, who organised it all and set up a mobile bookshop on board. I was promoting my latest marine mystery thriller, In For The Kill, which is set on the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and the south.


It was a great day. I enjoyed meeting readers and also went on the bridge with the Captain.

Marie and Colin Telford of the Hayling Island Bookshop did a fantastic job, and as ever my husband, Bob, was there to help and support me.



Thanks go to them, to the Wightlink crew, especially to Kerry Jackson, Sue Hemmings, Sam Woodman and Captain Monk and Captain Meadway. And also to Chris Clode for his PR and helping to make this happen. Not to forget our intrepid photographer Peter Rocchiccioli.

It is often difficult to find a new author and one whose novels you think you might enjoy but libraries are a great place for dipping your toe in the water, or rather for letting your fingers do the choosing and there is also a handy little book in UK libraries that can help with that.  It's called Who Else Writes Like? Reviewers have compared the Inspector Andy Horton novels to American writers, Ed McBain and Joseph Wambaugh and their British counterparts John Harvey and Peter Robinson both of the latter mentioned in the directory Who Else Writes Like? My crime novels are also compared to those written by Colin Dexter, Ann Cleeves, Robert Barnard, Graham Hurley, Dorothy Simpson and Neil White.   In addition, there is also a good website called Fantastic Fiction where it is suggested that if you like Peter James and Stephen Booth then you might also like the Inspector Andy Horton and the Art Marvik Mystery Thrillers.
