Pauline Rowson entertains the audience with tales of crime

Emsworth WI audience enthralled by tales of crime with Pauline Rowson

With talks and events cancelled for 2020 because of the Covid-19 pandemic I'm taking a look back, month by month, at my talks over the years. Here is one from September 2014

A packed audience at Emsworth Womens Institute sat enthralled by the mechanics of writing a crime novel and the exploits of the flawed and rugged Portsmouth based copper DI Andy Horton when I entertained them on Friday 12 September 2014.

Over fifty members of the WI at Emsworth, a coastal village on the borders of Hampshire and West Sussex, listened enraptured as I entertained them with anecdotes about my crime writing, where and how I draw my inspiration from; how I develop plot lines and create characters.

I also talked about the idea behind my standalone mystery thrillers In Cold Daylight and In For The Kill, which like the Horton series are set on the South Coast of England.

They were a lovely audience and it was a pleasure talking to them.

I hope that my talks can resume in 2021.

The latest Inspector Andy Horton Mystery

Number 15 in the DI Andy Horton series set against the backdrop of the sea on the South Coast of England in Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight

As DI Andy Horton follows the trail of a man found dead in a log cabin on the Isle of Wight, he uncovers some startling revelations into his own mother’s past and the truth behind her disappearance over thirty years ago.

Published in paperback, ebook, on Amazon Kindle and Kobo order on line and from all booksellers

Since this talk took place I also have a new hero on the block, Scotland Yard's Inspector Ryga who is sent out to solve coastal crimes. His first is on the Isle of Portland, Dorset when the body of a man in a pin-striped suit is found dead on Church Ope Cove - DEATH IN THE COVE. The second Inspector Ryga 1950 set mystery is DEATH IN THE HARBOUR and will be published on 2 November in paperback, e book and on Kindle. It is available to pre-order. Like the first in the series it is also available as an audio book.

In DEATH IN THE HARBOUR, Ryga is sent to Newhaven, East Sussex to unravel the mystery of why an ordinary police constable was murdered and his wife has gone missing.

In addition to the above there are three mystery thrillers in the Art Marvik series, the former Royal Marine Commando now an undercover investigator for the UK's National Intelligence Marine Squad.
