Crime and a captivated audience at Probus Annual Lunch
Continuing my theme of looking back at my talks over the years, in the absence of them in 2020 because of the rules and regulations surrounding Covid-19, I was delighted to talk to a captivated audience at the annual lunch of Fareham and Meon Probus on 8 October 2014.I'm sure that members must be missing their meetings, lunch and talks dreadfully.
I entertained them with the exploits of my heroes in my crime novels the rugged and flawed DI Andy Horton, and I talked about my two standalone crime novels, In For The Kill and In Cold Daylight, 
It was a very enjoyable lunch and a great audience. I talked about the inspiration behind my crime novels, which are set on the South Coast of England, how I turn ideas into plots, develop my characters, map out the story line and come up with the finished goods.
Since this talk there are now 15 in the DI Andy Horton crime series, three Art Marvik mystery thrillers, two 1950s set Inspector Ryga mysteries and my two stand alone thrillers.
I finished by signing copies of my crime novels and chatting with the audience. 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.
