I’ve just returned from giving a radio interview on Angel Radio about Portsmouth Bookfest and the event I am participating in, Crime & the City-CSI Portsmouth on 6 November.

It was great talking to Tony Smith, the founder of Angel Radio, which has gone from strength to strength since its first broadcast in February 1999 in Portsmouth. Now it broadcasts 24/7 on 101.1 FM in Havant and on the Internet. Angel Radio accentuates the positive aspects of being an older person. It provides a radio station for older people to run themselves and is unique in that it specialises in records made before1960, and many of them are great. Visit their web site to tune into Angel Radio, Angel Light, Isle of Wight and Australia.


I was chatting to Tony about the Crime & City CSI Portsmouth event at John Pounds Centre, Portsmouth on 6 November 2010 where I will join crime writers, Simon Brett, Graham Hurley, Peter Lovesey and June Hampson and police and forensic experts in a lively discussion on fact versus fiction. You can read more about this on my official web site  or by clicking on the page to the right of this blog. There are also details on how to purchase tickets.

Tony and I discussed my Inspector Andy Horton marine mystery crime novels, my crime thriller novels and how I research my crime novels.  We also talked about the other events running during Portsmouth Bookfest (25 October-13 November) which includes appearances by Josephine Cox, Chris Ryan, Jacqueline Wilson, Louise Rennison, Isabel Ashdown and many more… It’s going to be lively and entertaining book festival.

The radio interview is being broadcast each week over the next four weeks in the morning, although I’m not sure of the time. Hope some of you manage to catch it.

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.
