Twitter, crime novels, library and Lee


My visit to Lee-on-the-Solent Library yesterday was great.  It's a lovely library built in the 1930's and recently refurbished, though I guess it's had many refurbishments since it was opened! There was a nice sized crowd, about twenty, which for a small library was good, and one gentleman, who is one of my followers on Twitter, had travelled many miles to hear me speak, which was really nice of him.  The rest of the people were from the local area.

I thought I'd post some photos of my talk. The next one I have scheduled is on 17 November at The Concorde Club, Southampton in aid of the Wessex Cancer Trust and is a lunch time talk. More details on my web site.

Thank you to Ann Davidson and Lee-on-the-Solent Library for organising my talk and to all the lovely people who came and bought my books.

Here I am reading the prologue from In For The Kill.











Me with some of the audience.  I'm showing how I work out plots and characters, which is in pencil, on scraps of A4 paper, tied together by a marvellous invention - the india or treasury tag!

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.
