A successful talk to Test Villages U3A

On 5 June  I gave a successful talk about my DI Andy Horton  mystery crime novels set in the Solent area on the South Coast of England, to the Test Villages U3A group at a village called Longstock near Stockbridge in the heart of the Hampshire countryside. 

It was a glorious sunny day and the audience were lovely.  They asked lots of questions about my flawed and rugged detective, DI Andy Horton, and my life of crime, writing that is.

Pauline Rowson at CrimeFest 13

CrimeFest 13 was buzzing. It was great to catch up with some of my fellow crime writers, meet lots of lovely crime fiction fans and meet up with my publisher, Severn House.

The panel session on Friday morning was well received by a lively audience and my In the Spotlight Session later the same morning where I talked about "The Perfect System for Writing a Crime Novel" it was standing room only.

The panel session was chaired by Ann Cleeves and appearing with me were crime authors; J. C. Martin, Kate Ellis and Kerry Wilkinson. We discussed many aspects of crime writing and our novels, including why we chose to set them where we did, why we chose to feature cops, how we research our crime novels and who our favourite fictional detectives are.
