Library, Lee And The World's Largest Liner
Lee-on-the-Solent Library is my destination this afternoon to give a talk about my marine mystery crime novels and my life as a writer. It's a lovely little place with a High Street set just off the seafront. I'll be able to gaze across the Solent, which of course, is Inspector Andy Horton's patch, to the Isle of Wight beyond, getting a view of the western part of the Island and Cowes - a different view of the Island compared to that seen from Portsmouth and Hayling Island where we look across to Ryde and the eastern reaches of Bembridge. I haven't featured Lee in my crime novels, but there's time yet. The Andy Horton I am currently writing, ( number six) is coming along a treat.
It's a shame though that the World's biggest liner has sailed. It was anchored off Lee-on-the Solent (and not Southampton as the Daily Telegraph reported). The Oasis of the Seas is longer than four football pitches and cost £800m. The 6,296-passenger Oasis of the Seas dropped anchor at Lee-on-Solent to allow 300 shipyard workers to get off the vessel on Monday afternoon. Maybe there's another plot in there somewhere!!
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone this afternoon and will hopefully have some photographs to post here later today or tomorrow.
