Pauline Rowson talking to Julian Clegg BBC Radio Solent about crime fiction, CSI Portsmouth and DI Andy Horton in China

Great talking to Julian Clegg on BBC Radio Solent this morning (14 October 2013).  We talked about the publication of the new DI Andy Horton novel Death Surge, which is now available in the UK and Commonwealth and which will be published in the USA on 1 January.

Along with this the focus on the Julian Clegg show this week is doing business in China, so we chatted about how the DI Andy Horton series is being published in China this year. Julian asked if I'd been invited over to China to sign copies of my novels, not yet but who knows perhaps sometime in the future maybe!

We also discussed the forthcoming CSI Portsmouth event on Saturday 2 November at the National Museum for the Royal Navy in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, where crime fiction meets crime fact.  We have some great crime authors lined up with crime experts and police, including a forensic toxicologist and drugs intelligence officer. For the full programme and details of the panellists and to book visit CSI Portsmouth

My next radio interview is on Thursday 24 October, 8pm - 9pm when I'll be talking to Chris Pearce on Express FM

Death Surge, the tenth in the series is published by Severn House Publishers and is available on line, at all UK bookshops and for loan in UK libraries.  American readers will have to wait a little longer before getting another dose of DI Andy Horton.  Death Surge will be published in the USA on 1 January 2014.

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.

Chinese Translations And New Business Books

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. The Chinese book is called Be A Champion and this book combines two of my communication and motivational titles: Being Positive & Staying Positive , and Communicating With More Confidence with that of another book called Stress & Time Management written by Brian Lomas who I have known for some time. Brian is Managing Director of Executive Shadows and is a highly respected trainer and business consultant .
