I was made very welcome at the Southern region of the Society of Women Writers and Journalists
On 22 October I gave a talk on how I write, research and market my marine mystery crime novels and thrillers to the Southern Region of the Society of Women Writers and Journalists and have posted some photographs on my profile page from the event.
They were a lovely group of people and I was delighted to see popular saga author Dee Williams, whom I've appeared with at a few signings in the audience, along with crime writer, Peter Lovesey, a prolific writer with a string of awards including the Cartier Diamond Dagger for his career in crime writing. I'm appearing with Peter Lovesey at Crime & the City, CSI Portsmouth event on 6 November as part of Portsmouth Bookfest and I'm very much looking forward to it.
It was a fun event and I hope the audience found it interesting and informative, they certainly seemed to have done from their comments after the talk.
My next speaking engagement is at a charity lunch on behalf of the NSPCC at Wallington Hall, Fareham on 31 October 2010.

CSI Portsmouth, Crime and the City Event a great success
Over 200 people packed the hall in Portsmouth to hear crime fiction authors pitch their wits against police and forensic experts in a unique event the first ever Crime and the City CSI Portsmouth held as part of Portsmouth Bookfest on 6 November.
Lovers of crime fiction and CSI television programmes came together to hear crime authors and crime experts debate fact meets fiction.
Crime and the City, CSI Portsmouth kicked off at 10am with a morning panel featuring crime authors Simon Brett, June Hampson and (me) Pauline Rowson, who were joined by Crime Scene Investigators from Hampshire Constabulary and forensic psychologists from the University of Portsmouth. The afternoon session at 1pm featured crime authors Graham Hurley, Peter Lovesey and Pauline Rowson again with police and forensic experts.
On the expert side was DS Martin Chudley, in charge of the Crime Scene Investigation team for Hampshire Constabulary and Jane Aston and her team from the Fingerprinting Bureau. With them was Dr Claire Nee, Director of the International Centre for Research in Forensic Psychology at Portsmouth University, an expert in forensic psychology and Dr Paul Smith, an expert in Crime Scenes. To keep us all in check was panel moderator Cheryl Buggy, Station Director at Express FM, as she stimulated a lively discussion amongst the authors and experts and took questions from the audience.
There was the opportunity for delegates to see how the fingerprinting bureau works and have their thumbprint pressed into a keyring to take away. Delegates were also able to talk to the crime authors to find out how they come up with their intricate plots and research their novels.
A mobile bookshop was provided by the Hayling Island Bookshop who helped to organise the event along with the Portsmouth Library Service.
It was a great day and we all enjoyed it tremendously. It was so successful that we are hoping to build on it and do something even bigger and better next year at the Portsmouth Bookfest 2011. I'd like to thank everyone who participated and who worked so hard to make it a success, and most of all I'd like to thank the audience.

Writing a Crime Novel - new talk at CSI Portsmouth by Pauline Rowson
