What's on in March 2020 - writing, re-issue of DI Andy Horton mystery, talk and CSI Winchester

March sees the re-issue of one of the DI Andy Horton mysteries, FATAL CATCH (12) on Kindle and on 8 April 2020 it will be available in other e book formats and in paperback, as will SHROUD OF EVIL (13). A DEADLY WAKE, the new DI Andy Horton, number 15 in the series is also now available for pre-order both from your local bookshop and on Amazon Kindle and paperback.

On the writing front

I'll be continuing to write number three in my 1950 set mystery series featuring my thoughtful detective, Inspector Alun Ryga, who is accompanied in his investigations by the forthright and talented former war photographer, Eva Paisley. I'm delighted to say that the first in the series, DEATH IN THE COVE has been very well received and that number two in the Ryga series, DEATH IN THE HARBOUR, will be published later this year (2020). More about that to follow.

Talks and events

On 3 March I'll be giving a talk to members of Alverstoke Women's Institute about the secrets of successful rime writing and how I plot, research and write my crime novels.

Then at the end of the March I'll be taking part in another CSI event, this time CSI Winchester with fellow crime author Graham Hurley.

CSI Winchester Saturday 28 March 2020 Winchester Discovery Centre 10am – 12.30pm

 Graham and I will be debating crime fiction and crime fact with crime experts Carolyn Lovell, Research and Development Manager Forensic Capability Network, and Detective Superintendent Mandy Horsburgh of Hampshire Police. Also present will be the team from the Hampshire Fingerprint Bureau.

I hope that some of you can join us.  There will be the chance for the audience to put their questions to the panel followed by a book signing. More details and ticket information here.

Chinese Translations And New Business Books

Image
Most people know me for writing crime novels, especially the Inspector Horton Marine Mystery series, but I am also the author of several business books. Yesterday I received two packages. 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 . It always gives me a real buzz when I see my work translated into another language and to imagine people reading it all over the world. The three new business books...

If you like Peter James, John Harvey, Ann Cleeves and Peter Robinson you'll like Pauline Rowson's crime novels

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. Where to buy Pauline Rowson's...
