Missed it in The Sunday Times

A member of the Hayling Island Forum posted me a comment this morning to tell me that I had made the letters page in The Sunday Times and I missed it! A week ago last Sunday I was roused enough to leave a comment on the Sunday Times web site and lo and behold a slightly truncated version appeared in the newspaper on Sunday. What spurred me on to put fingers to keyboard was the sheer hypocrisy of this environmental debate. The Sunday Times Magazine carried a big spread on the environment and our doomed planet and what we can do to save it, whilst in the business section there was an article on the expansion of Heathrow airport. Here is an extract of my comments, which appeared in the newspaper:


" What is the point of stopping shops from giving out plastic bags, switching off our lights, turning down the heating, changing lightbulbs and so on when 240,000 more planes will be in the skies by the end of the next decade?" So there you go! What are your thoughts?

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.
