Pauline Rowson and Peter Lovesey at CSI Basingstoke with Police and Crime Experts 6 July 2013

I will be appearing with fellow crime author Peter Lovesey at CSI Basingstoke on Saturday 6 July at the Basingstoke Discovery Centre in Hampshire, England.

CSI Basingstoke is modelled on the highly successful CSI Portsmouth, which I help to organise and which is now in its fourth year. 

We have been joined by forensic experts and police from from the Hampshire Major Crime Team. We've got some great crime authors and experts lined up for CSI Portsmouth 2013  which will be announced shortly. CSI Portsmouth 2013 takes place on Saturday 2 November at the The National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard.

 The CSI events are proving popular and I was also pleased to be asked to assist with the organisation of CSI Gateshead in April which featured crime authors Mari Hannah and Matt Hilton and a former crime scene officer and detective from the Serious Incident Team of Northumbria Police.

 The CSI events bring together crime fiction and crime fact with crime authors and police and forensic experts appearing on a panel in front of an audience. The first CSI Portsmouth was held in 2010.  Crime authors who have appeared include: Mark Billingham, Simon Brett,  Stephen Booth,  Ann Cleeves,  Graham Hurley,  John Harvey,  Matt Hilton, June Hampson,  Michael Ridpath,  Peter Lovesey, and myself.  I'm looking forward to CSI Basingstoke on 6 July.

Tickets cost £5 and are available from Basingstoke Discovery Centre or by phone on 01256 478670.

If you like Peter James, John Harvey, Ann Cleeves and Peter Robinson you'll like Pauline Rowson's crime novels

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.
