Wonderful Worthing

I like the people of Worthing. They turned out at the library last Thursday to hear me talk about my Marine Mysteries, bless them. What a lovely audience, so appreciative and so interested. The event, organised by the hard working staff at the library, was very successful. I also sold some books. Many thanks to Mike Morten who organised and attended the event and to Chris, whose surname I don't know.

I am a great supporter of libraries. They perform such a valuable function in the community. Coming from a non book household if it hadn't been for my local library in Baffins, Portsmouth when I was a child then I might never have discovered the wonderful world of books and become an avid reader and writer. I think it is shameful that the government are cutting the library budgets to buy books.

I am giving a talk at Portsmouth Library on Wednesday to the volunteers who take books to the housebound and to the teenage reading group. Looking forward to it. Now I am off to an independent bookshop in Ringwood, Hampshire, to do a signing. Bye for now.

Results of the votes on the jacket cover for Deadly Harbour coming soon.

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.
