Enjoyed meeting the volunteers at Read for Life and talking to them about DI Horton crime novels and my thrillers

Read For Life is a community interest company that trains and supports volunteers to help primary school children with their reading, not only in Portsmouth but also in the surrounding  South East Hampshire boroughs.

Yesterday I gave a talk to the volunteers about how I write the marine mystery crime novels featuring DI Andy Horton  and my thrillers, In Cold Daylight and In For The Kill. They were such a lovely group of people doing a very worthwhile and rewarding job.

Reading helps boost self confidence and self esteem it also gives children and adults countless hours of pleasure.

Undercurrent, the latest DI Andy Horton mystery, number nine in the series, is published by Severn House in hardcover and will be available as an e book and on Kindle, Nook and Kobo on 1 May 2013.

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.
