Murder, treachery, deceit and betrayal set against the backdrop of the south coast and the Solent? It must be another case for DI Andy Horton .  I'll be appearing at the Isle of Arts Festival Ventnor at the splendid Royal Hotel ,Ventnor on Sunday 17 April at 4pm. Tickets cost £3.00 I'll be revealing what inspires me and how I research and write my crime and thriller novels, two of which are set on the Isle of Wight, the DI Horton crime novel Blood on the Sand and the thriller, In For The Kill. All my crime novels and thrillers are set around the Solent area, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. I do hope some of you can join me on the Isle of Wight and I look forward to the talk at the Royal Hotel , a magnificent hotel. Tickets can also be purchase on the door there.

Murder and mayhem is on the agenda tonight when I will be guest speaker at the Women's Institute in  Broad Chalke, near Salisbury, UK giving a talk about my Inspector Andy Horton crime novels and my thrillers. I've spoken at many WI meetings and always enjoy them. Tonight, as at other WIs, I am sure that the audience will be friendly and welcoming. Hopefully I'll be able to post some photographs from the event on the blog tomorrow. Then it's off to the Isle of Wight next week to present prizes to the adult winners of the Wight Fair Writing Circle Winter Short Story Competition in aid of charity before supping coffee and stuffing croissants at the Julian Clegg BBC Radio Solent Christmas party in Southampton on Christmas Eve. A perfect run up to Christmas.
