My Crime and the City Event, Portsmouth CSI, 6 November 2010 is coming along nicely

I have another meeting this morning at Portsmouth Library to progress the Crime & the City event - Portsmouth CSI on 6 November 2010.  This is my little brainchild and I am delighted that it is being organised by Portsmouth Library, the Hayling Island Bookshop and me, of course, though I must say that most of the hard work is being done by the library, for which I am extremely grateful.

I've got some great crime writers lined up as well as the real head of the Scenes of Crime Portsmouth and the library have been working hard on finding other speakers. Today I'll find out who else is coming along to the event because we hope to have some 'experts' from Portsmouth University criminology department.

The event is open to everyone and anyone: those who love reading crime fiction, those who love writing it  and those who are fascinated by how the police work.  More to follow later including speakers, and times but if this sounds like your thing pencil it on your calendar.  Saturday 6 November Portsmouth Central Library - Crime & the City.

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.
