Whirlwind book tour of North East England for crime author

I was given such a warm welcome and it was a very enjoyable and rewarding book tour. Authors spend so much time working alone with only their characters for company that it is always good to get out and meet readers and that is just what I did in Hartlepool ,Whitley Bay and Gateshead when I took part in the first ever CSI Gateshead, modelled on the event I instigated helped to organise in Portsmouth for a number of years, CSI Portsmouth.
First though Hartlepool

Next stop Gateshead
Nearly a hundred and twenty people attended CSI Gateshead at Gateshead Library on Thursday 25 April 2013. The CSI Gateshead event, like the Portsmouth, Southampton Winchester and Basingstoke events I have participated in, was a huge success.

On the panel with me were crime authors Matt Hilton, (who also appeared at CSI Portsmouth 2012) and Mari Hannah .
The crime experts were Mo Dowdy, former Detective Inspector with the Serious Incident Squad, Northumbria Police and Ian Gillard, former Crime Scene Officer with Northumbria Police. The moderator was Susan Horton (no relation to DI Andy Horton - Pauline's fictional detective) from Gateshead Library service.
And here we are signing copies of our crime novels and talking to readers.
Next stop Whitley Bay


I give talks to a wide range of groups of people, which includes, U3As, Women's Institutes, Charities, Probus Clubs, libraries, literary and reading groups and many more.
If you would like me to speak to your organisation, company or library please feel free to contact me.
