An early start on Wednesday 25 March to head for the BBC South studios
in Southampton for my interview on BBC Radio Solent with the lovely
Julian Clegg on his very popular breakfast show.

It was great as always to talk to Julian and this time on air at 7.25 we talked about the publication of
Silent Running, featuring a brand new hero, former marine commando, Special Boat Services Officer, Art Marvik.

We also discussed the flawed and rugged
DI Andy Horton,
the fact that the Horton series has been optioned for television by one
of the UK's top television productions companies, Lime Pictures. I
also mentioned the next DI Andy Horton novel due to be published in
September 2015 by
Severn House, called
Fatal Catch.
Julian
also sprang a surprise on me because that morning BBC Radio Solent were
conducting a personality test which revealed the person's happiness
ratio regarding where they lived, and where they would be happiest
living! I had to do the quick test before going on air and then we
jokingly discussed it.

It
seemed I was 74% happy living where I am and that I would equally be as
happy living in Chichester, something I didn't disagree with
particularly as Chichester Harbour, the marina and outlying areas are
all locations I've used in Silent Running.
But the most surprising thing my test revealed was that I'd be far
happier living in the Shetland Islands - yes the complete opposite end
of the UK from where I now live on Hayling Island. Maybe it is the
attraction of living on an Island but I think being the chilly mortal I
am the Shetland Islands might be a tad too cold for me. So for now I'll
stick to Hayling Island and the Isle of Wight both locations used in my
DI Andy Horton crime novels.
Silent Running is
published in hardcover in the UK. It will be published in the USA in
July 2015 when it will also be released as an ebook and available on
Kindle.
All my crime novels are also available for loan in UK, Commonwealth and USA librarie
