Talk and Tea



I was at Christchurch Library last Thursday giving a talk, and what an audience, sociable, friendly, enthusiastic and a delight to meet. The library itself was fairly small but the moment I stepped inside I could feel its vibrancy, and it was packed with people. This library was also fairly unusual for its size because it had a splendid function room upstairs, with a kitchen, where the Friends of Christchurch Library served tea and coffee.
Many of the audience bought my books and I hope that they enjoy reading them. Thank you, Christchurch, for making me so welcome and for listening to my talk with rapture and interest.


Stopped over in the New Forest on the way back to Hayling Island and had a picnic lunch of cheese baguette on a glorious English May day. Nothing quite like it. Thought you'd prefer the photo of the New Forest horse rather than one of me!

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.
