I'll be at the London Book Fair

April is here and that means one of the major events in the book trade calendar, The London Book Fair, where I will be on 19th and 20th April. It's a great opportunity for me to meet with my overseas Literary Agents from Brazil, Spain and Italy as well as with my publishers of my business books and my crime novels.

According to an article on the Bookseller web site, publishers and agents are expecting an “incredibly busy” London Book Fair with schedules already jam-packed. For authors it's a good place to meet, to attend some interesting and informative seminars, and to see what publishers are up to.  It's not the place though for authors to tout their books with the aim of finding a publisher because commissioning editors aren't always there and if they are then their diaries are already full, but it's good for research, for picking up publisher's catalogues and for getting contact names.

Last year, in addition to meeting agents, publishers and fellow authors I met Paul Daniels, the magician.

You can find out more on the London Book Fair web site. And if any of you are visiting then you might catch me in between appointments on Stand J205.

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.
