Crime author Pauline Rowson entertains Townswomen's Guild

Pauline Rowson talking about her crime novels

A blast from the past once again, this time from 2018 when I was delighted to entertain members of the Mid Hants and Wilts Townswomen's Guild at their autumn event on Thursday 25 October 2018 at Romsey, Hampshire. This was of course pre Covid-19 with its lock down and public and social events banned. I miss giving talks and meeting so many lovely people and I know many are missing meeting up and enjoying their social events. Let's all hope they may resume soon. Meanwhile, here is a look back to a very enjoyable event in Romsey where I entertained a packed audience with tales of my fictional sleuths, the enigmatic DI Andy Horton who features in fifteen novels and undercover investigator, former Royal Marine Commando, Art Marvik who currently appears in three mystery thriller novels. I also have a new detective, Inspector Alun Ryga, and a new series set in 1950 - more about that below.

Pauline Rowson talking about crime writing

I talked about the locations along the south coast of England that have inspired me and how they have provided me with the ideas for my multi-layered, marine-set crime novels, of which there are now twenty-one. I spoke about how I develop these ideas into fast-paced plots.

I also explained and demonstrated how I create my characters. Hailed in the UK, USA and Commonwealth as the "Best of British crime fiction," "A good read for mystery lovers," "gripping, compelling and full of twists and turns."

My novels have been translated into many languages and are available in paperback, as an ebook, on Amazon Kindle and as unabridged audio books.

The popular Inspector Andy Horton police procedural series is set in Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight; the Art Marvik mystery thrillers along the south coast including the Jurassic coast of Dorset and the Downs of East Sussex, Beachy Head and Cuckmere Haven.

I am also the author of two standalone thrillers, In Cold Daylight and In For The Kill.

Following my talk there was a lively question and answer session and a book signing.

It was a pleasure to entertain the audience and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone including some very avid DI Andy Horton and Art Marvik fans.

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.
