Has any feedback from readers ever changed your plans for a plot or character?


This article is taken from my interview with Soundings who have just released the audio book of Inspector Andy Horton crime novel, Death Surge, number ten in the DI Andy Horton crime series.

Death Surge is also available in paperback and as an e book on Amazon Kindle and on Kobo.






We see that you enjoy meeting with your readers and giving talks, has any feedback from readers ever changed your plans for a plot or character?


Authors are nosy people we’re always listening in on others conversations not only for dialogue but also for story lines, sub plots and ideas. People are fascinating. Everyone has a story to tell so getting out and interacting with readers, talking to people, listening to them, asking them questions about their lives and experiences is all fodder for writers. Some readers have fascinating backgrounds and are extremely helpful and have been kind enough to give me their technical expertise on all sorts of matters whether that is nautical, chemical, forensic or otherwise.

And it’s always great to get feedback from readers. Their comments haven’t changed a plot or character but the people I meet (and the places I visit) can all inspire me and provide very valuable information and ideas for crime novels and characters.

Death Surge is published in paperback, e book, on Amazon Kindle, on Kobo and as an unabridged audio book narrated by Gordon Griffin.

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.
