Wowing the Wordwrights of Titchfield with words of writing wisdom

I was delighted to be asked to talk to the Wordwrights of Titchfield  on Thursday 20 July a friendly creative writing group based in the Hampshire village of Titchfield. Members range from beginners through to published writers working in all genres including short stories, articles, poetry, play writing and novels. The group meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month from 1.30 p.m to 3.30 p.m in the Community Centre, Titchfield.

Pauline Rowson talking about crime writing to Wordwrights of Titchfield Writing Group

 I talked about where I draw my inspiration from, which is essentially the sea as all my crime novels are set against the backdrop of the ever changing sea.  I also explained how I plot and research my crime novels, how I create and develop the characters and as there was ample time for questions from the audience I was able to cover topics such as viewpoint, dialogue and getting published.

I'm thrilled to say that my eighteenth crime novel, Lost Voyage, the third in the Art Marvik mystery series, was published by Severn House on 10 July 2017.



There are now thirteen  crime novels featuring my rugged and flawed Portsmouth detective DI Andy Horton, three in the Art Marvik series, a former Royal Marine Commando now an undercover investigator for the UK's National Intelligence Marine Squad (NIMS) and  I am also the author of two standalone thrillers, the award winning, In Cold Daylight and In For the Kill.




My crime novels have been described as 'multi layered' and 'complex,' and 'full of twists and turns.'

They are published by Severn House and Soundings and are available in hardback, paperback, as ebooks, and some are also available in Large Print and as unabridged audio books.  Published in the UK and the USA they can be bought on line and from all good bookshops. They are also available for loan in UK and USA libraries.

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.
