Talking about the inspiration behind my crime novels to a Southampton audience

I was very pleased to be asked to speak about my crime novels to members of Southampton NHS Retirement Fellowship on Thursday 17 September. Over sixty members attended and they listened attentively as I talked about the inspiration behind the DI Andy Horton and Art Marvik crime novels, and I explained how I plot research and write them.

Following my talk there was, as usual, a lively Q & A session followed by a book signing.

I always enjoy speaking to audiences about crime writing and it's great to meet DI Andy Horton fans and introduce my novels and my new hero on the block, former marine commando, Art Marvik, who is introduced in Silent Running, to new readers.

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.
