U3A comes up trumps for crime author, Pauline Rowson and DI Andy Horton

Once again the U3A has come up trumps. Over seventy people packed into a hot and stuffy church hall at Locks Heath on Friday 26 July  to hear me talk about how I construct and write my crime novels.

They were a lovely crowd who listened attentively asked some great questions and then I was delighted to sign copies of my DI Andy Horton novels and my two stand alone thrillers, In Cold Daylight and In For The Kill.

 Writing is a solitary business so it's always good to get out and meet readers and get feedback.  I also enjoy public speaking having done a great deal of it in my career, so it's always a pleasure to be asked to give talks to audiences of any size from ten to hundreds.

 The U3A is a hugely popular movement attracting hundreds of new members across Britain every day.  They are self-help, self-managed lifelong learning co-operatives for older people no longer in full time work, providing opportunities for their members to share learning experiences in a wide range of interest groups and to pursue learning not for qualifications, but for fun. And fun they certainly seem to have.

If you would like to book me to speak to your organization please Contact Me via my website.

I'll also be appearing at CSI Portsmouth 2013 on 2 November.

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.
