Thanks All Round

Thank you to Mike Powell for inviting me to be his guest on his Sunday afternoon programme (15 March 2009) to talk about the unsolved murder of my great aunt, Martha Giles, who was brutally killed on 12 February 1959. I was also talking to Mike about my marine mystery crime and thriller novels.

Thanks also to those of you who were kind enough to e mail and text him to say how much you enjoy my novels, and to offer your support in trying to get this tragic case re-examined by the police.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who visited my official web site during Read an E Book Week 8-14 March 2009, and downloaded a copy of Tide of Death. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Chinese Translations And New Business Books

One contained the Chinese translation of two of my books combined into one, and the other package contained copies of three new business books I've written, which are being published by Crimson Publishing on 1 August 2009. The Chinese book is called Be A Champion and this book combines two of my communication and motivational titles: Being Positive & Staying Positive , and Communicating With More Confidence with that of another book called Stress & Time Management written by Brian Lomas who I have known for some time. Brian is Managing Director of Executive Shadows and is a highly respected trainer and business consultant . It always gives me a real buzz when I see my work translated into another language and to imagine people reading it all over the world. The three new business books...

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. Where to buy Pauline Rowson's...
