Express FM Interview was great fun, next up is BBC Radio Solent on 2 November
Had a great time on the radio yesterday talking to Adrian Knight of Express FM on his breakfast show. It was a lovely interview with lots of laughs and a bit of a chat in between, talking about my DI Horton crime novels set in Portsmouth and the Solent area and the forthcoming CSI Portsmouth event on Saturday 5 November at John Pounds Centre, Portsmouth.
Next up is the Julian Clegg Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Solent 2 November at 6.45am. It is always a great pleasure and delight talking to Julian. I'm looking forward to it.

Publication day for NEW DI Andy Horton crime novel, A Killing Coast
I'm delighted to announce that the seventh in the DI Horton series of Marine Mystery crime novels set in the Solent area on the South Coast of England, A Killing Coast is published in hardcover by Severn House in the UK today, 26 January 2012. It will be published in the USA on 1 May 2012.
I was on BBC Radio Solent this morning at 6.45 to launch the new Horton crime novel, talking to Julian Clegg on his hugely popular breakfast show. It was great fun.
The DI Horton series has received some critical acclaim both in the UK and the USA where I'm flattered and honoured that my writing has been compared to Ed McBain and Joseph Wambaugh and with their British counterparts, including the work of Peter Robinson and John Harvey.
American Reviewer Booklist says, "Andy Horton is an especially good series hero, a likeable fellow with plenty of street smarts and the requisite personal baggage – an abrasive supervisor and an antagonistic soon-to-be ex-wife. Procedural fans who haven’t already read Rowson should be encouraged to do so in the strongest possible terms."
I've written seven in the DI Horton series and two stand alone thrillers one of which, In Cold Daylight was voted the third most popular novel in an on line poll for World Book Day 2008.
All my crime and thriller novels are available in hardcover, paperback, as e books, on Kindle and Nook and some are available in Large Print and as Audio Books.
A Killing Coast
When a body is found floating in the sea off Portsmouth harbour, Detective Inspector Horton initially judges it to be an accidental death. Soon though, to his dismay, he discovers he’s got it very wrong. Accused of being incompetent by his boss, and with the head of the Major Crime Team coming down heavily on him, Horton wonders if he’s allowed his ongoing investigation into the disappearance of his mother over thirty years ago to cloud his judgement. With no clear motive for the murder, Horton is sucked into a baffling investigation that he is determined to resolve despite the odds. Not only does he need to find a brutal killer, but Horton now has to prove to himself, and others, that he is still up to the job.
I'll be helping to celebrate National Libraries Day on Saturday 4 February when I will be at Portsmouth Central Library between 10.30am to 12.30pm.
I'll be talking about my marine mystery crime novels and thrillers which are set in the Solent area, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, and there will be the opportunity to win signed copies of my books with a murder mystery quiz hunt for clues around the library, and the chance to be named as a character in one of my forthcoming DI Horton crime novels.
National Libraries Day is a celebration of libraries across the UK. Events and activities will take place in a variety of libraries including in schools, colleges, universities and public libraries in the UK in the week leading up to and on National Libraries Day on Saturday 4 February.
Tickets cost £3.00 and can be purchased at any library in Portsmouth or by contacting libraries@portsmouthcc.gov.uk

What's happening in July for Crime Author Pauline Rowson
It only seems like five minutes ago I was writing the entry for June and here we are in July (and with little sign of the summer in the UK). So what's happening in July?
On 5 July I am to be guest crime author at the annual conference of the British Society of Criminology taking place at the University of Portsmouth, Institute of Criminal Justice Studies, (ICJS).
I'll be appearning on a panel on the afternoon of 5 July with my fellow crime writers, Graham Hurley, Peter Lovesey, June Hampson and Linda Regan and I'm really looking forward to it.
The conference is themed around ‘Criminology at the borders’ and coincides with the twentieth anniversary of ICJS. It brings together academics and practitioners operating at the cutting edge of thinking on crime and justice and provides an insight into some fascinating topics including cyber crime, international and organised crime; policing and law enforcement across national boundaries,global criminology, between and across national borders and her own panel event, crime cultures – fictional meets factional imageries of crime and justice.
On 6 July I'll be on the Julian Clegg Breakfast Programme on BBC Radio Solent between 6.45 am. and 7am on 96.1 and 103.8 FM and DAB Digital Radio.
I'll be in the studio chatting to Julian about my crime novels set in Portsmouth, the Isle of Wight and the Solent area and talking about the new DI Andy Horton, Death Lies Beneath which is published on 26 July.
If you can't catch the interview live then you can listen to the programme again via the BBC Radio Solent website.
July also sees the publication in the UK by Severn House of the NEW DI Andy Horton marine mystery crime novel Death Lies Beneath, number eight in the series.This is once again set in the Portsmouth and Solent area of the UK.
"When ex con, Daryl Woodley is found dead on the marshes bordering Langstone Harbour the Intelligence Directorate believe his murder is linked to big time crook Marty Stapleton currently serving time in prison. DI Horton is not so sure. He attends Woodley’s funeral in the hope it will give them a lead in an investigation that has drawn a blank at every turn. It does but not in the way he or anyone expected. A body found on a rotting boat being salvaged in Portsmouth Harbour throws Horton into a complex and frustrating investigation. As the tension mounts to solve the case, Horton receives a chilling message; time, it seems, is also running out for him personally…"
Also in July I'll be continuing to write the ninth in the DI Horton series, as yet untitled. I'm currently working on the revisions and hope to have it completed by the end of the month or at the latest the first two weeks in August.

Pauline Rowson talking to Julian Clegg BBC Radio Solent about crime writing and DI Andy Horton series
My first radio interview of 2014 was today (15 January). It was a very early start to reach the BBC Radio Solent studios in Southampton from Hayling Island where I live by 6.30a.m. but at least I avoided the rush hour traffic on the very busy M27.
I was talking to the lovely Julian Clegg on his Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Solent about the DI Andy Horton crime series which is set in the Solent area, of Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight.
We chatted about the Horton crime novels Death Surge which has just been published in e book format, Death Lies Beneath which comes out in paperback on 27 February and the new DI Andy Horton, Shroud of Evil, which will be published on 30 April 2014.
It was, as always, great fun being on the radio.
