Pauline Rowson first talk since Covid lockdown to Portsmouth U3A

Yes, it was time for celebrations as I was back in front of an audience talking about how I write my crime novels and my crime fictional heroes - DI Andy Horton, Art Marvik and my Scotland Yard 1950s detective, Inspector Ryga.

I was talking to members of Portsmouth U3A, my rugged and flawed detective, Inspector Andy Horton's patch - Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight.

It was great to be back in front of an audience. After an absence of sixteen months because of the prohibition of all social gatherings such as these owing to Covid, I wondered if I would remember what to say. Maybe I had lost the knack, but I'm pleased to announce that I hadn't and the audience were friendly and delighted to once again be out and about meeting each other.
