Time Magazine gives readers five reasons to visit the Isle of Wight - and read one of my crime novels set there ( only kidding or rather wishful thinking)

The Isle of Wight County press reports a lovely story this week that contradicts a recent article in one of the national newspapers that said the Isle of Wight was stuck in a time warp.  (Personally I wouldn't mind if it was - although I'd probably still want broadband!). Anyway the Iconic US magazine Time has dedicated a feature explaining to its 3.4 million readers why they should visit the Island (Five Reasons to Visit the Isle of Wight) and the article has been illustrated with a shot of Compton Bay from local photographer Jason Swain. ( Well done, Jason.)

Some American readers will of course already be familiar with the Isle of Wight because my marine mystery crime novels featuring Inspector Andy Horton are published in America. 
Blood on the Sand is set on the Isle of Wight and The Suffocating Sea ends on the Island.  My thriller In For The Kill is also set on the Isle of Wight.  

I wonder if Time magazine would be interested in doing a feature on a certain crime writer whose novels are set on the Island as a follow up story. Having access to 3.4 million potential readers wouldn't be half bad. Now which editor do I need to contact?  Jason, I need a favour...

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.
