I was delighted to be the lunchtime guest speaker at the Southampton
branch of the National Association of Tangent on a cold Tuesday on the
20 January. The lunch was held in the Keats Restaurant, Ampfield, near
Romsey in Hampshire and a very good lunch it was too with great
company.
After
the two course lunch I entertained the audience with tales of my crime
heroes and especially the exploits of my rugged and flawed detective
DI Andy Horton. This was followed by questions and a book signing.

I
explained how I write my crime novels, showing examples of my plot
lines, and character sketches and I explained where I draw my
inspiration from which is primarily locations along the South Coast of
England and in
DI Andy Horton's case is Portsmouth and surrounding area and the Isle of Wight.
