On Wednesday 22 October I gave a talk to readers at Weymouth
Library and beforehand took the opportunity to do some research for one of my crime novels.

As
my readers know my
crime novels are all set around the sea with the
DI Andy
Horton series primarily set in the Solent area on the South Coast of England. However, there is always the chance that
DI
Horton will venture further afield and readers are in for a surprise in 2015
and a treat (I hope) with the launch of a brand new hero in a brand new crime
series (more about that later) which means that other coastal locations will be
featuring in future crime novels. One of
them is Weymouth.
Weymouth is a seaside resort on the Dorset Coast and
boasts a sandy beach in a sheltered bay off the English Channel at the mouth of
the River Wey. Georgian terraces face
onto the bay and Weymouth is situated halfway along the
Jurassic
Coast, a
World Heritage Site important for its geology and landforms.

The audience at Weymouth Library made
me very welcome. I talked about how I plot my crime novels, develop characters
and where I draw my inspiration from. They asked lots of questions and this was
followed by tea and biscuits and a book signing.

My thanks to Mary Gracie and the Friends of
Weymouth Library for organising the talk and to all the lovely people for
coming and listening to me.
