Pauline Rowson entertains the audience at Yate Library

I was delighted to meet such an enthusiastic audience at Yate Library, South Gloucestershire (near Bristol) on Monday 22 September when I talked about the process of writing a crime novel, the inspiration behind the DI Andy Horton series and my standalone crime novels, In Cold Daylight and In For The Kill.

Yate is famous these days as being the birthplace of J. K. Rowling although strictly speaking she was born in Chipping Sodbury Maternity Hospital on the outskirts of Yate.  Once a market town Yate, in the 1960s, became a booming new town with the massive development of houses, a large retail shopping area, sports and leisure complex together with public buildings, including the library, which has recently had a major make over and is a very impressive and vibrant building.

I was made very welcome at Yate by the lovely library staff and the audience who listened enraptured as I took them through the process of how I plan and plot my crime novels.

This was followed by a very lively question and answer session, a book signing and refreshments. My thanks to the library staff for organising the event and to the audience for turning up.

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.
