Great news from the publisher of the DI Horton series, Severn House

Kate Lyall Grant is to become head of publisher Severn House who publish my DI Andy Horton crime novels.  Kate will have overall responsibility for the entire list published by Severn House which includes not only crime and mystery, but romance, historical fiction, horror, fantasy and saga.

Kate formerly worked at Simon & Schuster. She said: “In the current economic climate and the cautious buying market, our independent status means we can attract better quality authors than ever before. We’re competing with bigger publishers and gaining more coverage and starred reviews in trade journals and are hoping that the new e-book list and Severn Select imprint will pick up the slack from the declining library sales."

I'm delighted to be published by Severn House who are certainly a thriving publishing house with a great reputation both in the UK and the USA. Two of  my crime novels have received starred reviews in the States: Dead Man's Wharf and Footsteps on the Shore, and all have received great reviews.

A Killing Coast, the seventh in the DI Horton series was published in hardcover by Severn House in January.

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.
