A weekend of research, working on outlines and characters


I spent much of the weekend researching for the new DI Andy Horton novel, number eleven in the series, as well as a new crime novel which will introduce a new hero.  Not to rival Andy Horton of course, or to replace him I hasten to add for all of you, who like me, adore him flaws and all.  But because I want to write another thriller (having written two a while ago now, In Cold Daylight and In For The Kill) and with this in mind thought  that perhaps this new thriller would be a three part series.

I've already written the first two chapters of the thriller and the first chapter of the new DI Andy Horton, just to kick start them. I've got the themes and some character outlines but there's more research to undertake yet and the outline plots to work on.

Which of the two will be written first?  DI Andy Horton number eleven or the new thriller?  I'm not sure but I'm certainly excited about both. And, no, I won't give away the area of research because that might spoil it.



A compelling thriller about what happens to one man when his identity is stolen.

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.
