Pauline Rowson entertains the audience at Fleet

A superb audience turned out in Fleet, Hampshire on 19 November to hear me talk about the inspiration behind my popular crime novels and how I plan, plot and write them. I talked about the Solent based crime series featuring the flawed and rugged Portsmouth copper DI Andy Horton.

The latest in the DI Andy Horton series, Shroud of Evil, was published in the UK and USA in 2014 by Severn House. It is the eleventh to feature the enigmatic detective and is currently available in hardcover and as an ebook. It will be published in paperback in autumn 2015 when the twelfth in the Horton series, FATAL CATCH, will also be published in hardcover by Severn House.

During the talk I also treated the audience to a preview of the first in my crime series featuring former Royal Marine Commando, Special Boat Services Officer, Art Marvik, Silent Running, which is being published by Severn House in March 2015.

The audience listened enraptured as I spoke about my crime writing, where and how I get my inspiration from, how I develop plot lines and characters and the adventures of my fictional series detective, DI Andy Horton.

I also talked about the idea behind my standalone thrillers, In Cold Daylight and In For The Kill, which like the Horton series are set on the South Coast of England.  

After my talk the audience lined up to buy signed copies of my novels.  They were a delightful audience and I  thoroughly enjoyed talking to them. 2015 is going to be a very busy year for me with two new crime novels being published, two being released in paperback and lots of talks lined 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.
