This is the second year I have been asked to present the prizes and I'm looking forward to it.The ceremony is being held at Newport Minister. There are some great prizes on offer as well as the winners being published in the County Press and interviewed on radio.

All proceeds are going to charity which includes The Ellen Macarthur Trust and The Diabetic Society. And I'd like to thank Wightlink for sponsoring my travel from Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight.

I hope to post some photographs here from the event.

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.
