Met some avid DI Andy Horton and Art Marvik fans at Woolston Library

I was delighted to entertain readers at Woolston Library, Southampton on 9 July when I met some lovely and very avid DI Andy Horton and Art Marvik fans.  It was very heart warming and motivating to hear from them how much they enjoyed reading my crime novels

I explained how I write my crime novels set on the South Coast of England. I now have nineteen crime novels published, soon to be twenty in September with the first in my new historical mystery series set in 1950 introducing Scotland Yard detective, Inspector Alun Ryga in DEATH IN THE COVE.   There are fourteen novels in the DI Andy Horton series set in Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight;three in the Art Marvik  mystery thriller series; and two standalone thrillers, IN COLD DAYLIGHT and IN FOR THE KILL.

I explained how locations along the south coast of England provide the inspiration for my crime novels and how I turn these ideas into multi-layered and gripping plots, how I develop plot lines by creating a storyboard; how I create characters using spidergrams and how I research the police procedure and the forensic aspects of my crime novels. Following my talk there was a lively question and answer session and a book signing. It was a pleasure to talk to the lovely audience at Woolston Library.

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.
