Portsmouth HarbourPortsmouth is fast becoming Britain's favourite waterfront destination. Its irresistible mix of history and heritage, specialist shopping, lively arts, great restaurants and bars and a programme of year round events make it a popular destination, while the beautiful scenic coast of the Isle of Wight is just a short trip across the Solent.

Portsmouth is also a great literary city, most notably the birthplace of the author Charles Dickens whose bicentenary Portsmouth  is celebrating throughout 2012. Portsmouth was home to H. G Wells and Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, who is celebrated today with the Arthur Conan Doyle Collection Lancelyn Green Bequest, a brand new archive research centre devoted to Doyle.

Chinese Translations And New Business Books

Most people know me for writing crime novels, especially the Inspector Horton Marine Mystery series, but I am also the author of several business books. Yesterday I received two packages. One contained the Chinese translation of two of my books combined into one, and the other package contained copies of three new business books I've written, which are being published by Crimson Publishing on 1 August 2009.
