The 2011 CWA Young Crime Writer Competition Winner Is Announced

I'm delighted to announce that Claudia Hyde, a 16-year-old from London, has won the Crime Writers' Association Young Crime Writers' Competition 2011 with her entry A Cushion Out Of Place. Many congratulations to her and to all the Regional Winners including the South's top young writer, George Neame, from Bognor Regis, for his entry, The Photograph. 

I was very proud and privileged to be the judge for the southern area for the second year running. It has been great fun reading all the entries and meeting the young writers.  I am only sorry to learn that the Crime Writers' Association (CWA) will not be running the competition in 2012.  Let's hope it can be resurrected for 2013!

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.
