Pauline Rowson Author of the DI Horton Crime Series Presents Prizes to Winners of Short Story Competition

Had a great time presenting certificates and prizes to the adult winners of the Wight Fair Writers Circle Winter Short Story Competition at an Awards Ceremony held at Newport Minster on the Isle of Wight on Tuesday 20 December.

Here are some photographs taken from the event organised by the Wight Fair Writers Circle and by fellow crime authors Bob and Carol Bridgestock.

'It was a great evening and a delight to see so many people, particularly young people, enjoying the craft of writing. Thanks to the Wight Fair Writers Circle for inviting me to present the certificates and to Wightlink who sponsored my travel to the Isle of Wight. 

(I also got to travel on the Bridge of the Wightlink ferry again but I'm saving those photos for another blog entry- some great location shots of DI Andy Horton Marine Mystery Country - will post them between Christmas and New Year)

If you like Peter James, John Harvey, Ann Cleeves and Peter Robinson you'll like Pauline Rowson's crime novels

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.
