I've been invited to the Lord Mayor of Portsmouth's Dinner Party

I've been invited to an all female dinner party tonight by the Right Worshipful The Lord Mayor of the City of Portsmouth Councillor Cheryl Buggy where I will be one of her guests celebrating 'successful women.' That's nice, isn't it? I'll be joining some high city flyers and the movers and shakers in the female world of Portsmouth who include fellow authors, Betty Burton and Lisa Clark.

I was invited in May to Cheryl Buggy's Mayor Making ceremony and have known Cheryl for some years first when she was a broadcast journalist working for an independent radio station, now she runs one!

Express FM covers stories about life in South East Hampshire a mixture of music and interviews.  I've been on several times talking about my DI Andy Horton crime novels and my thrillers and always enjoy it.  The radio station is legally prohibited from distributing profits, there are no shareholders and every penny they receive is invested in helping people communicate.  Sounds like a good mission to me.

I'm looking forward to the evening. Only trouble is what do I wear?!

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.
