A busy month for writing and speaking engagements
Aside from putting the finishing touches to the Inspector Andy Horton novel I’m writing there are a clutch of events in March.
Firstly, my crime thriller novel In For The Kill is being featured in Read an E Book Week 7-13 March 2010. In For The Kill is set on the Isle of Wight on the south coast of England and is a thriller about what happens to one man when his identity is stolen. For Alex Albury, the hero, the nightmare that destroyed his life will only end in death; his or his tormentor’s. With its twists and turns the reader is sucked into a frightening world of deception, betrayal and revenge in a highly topical story that has its roots deep in the past. For one week only during Read an E Book Week people will be able to download a free copy of In For The Kill
On 15 and 16 March I’m off to the North East of England to talk about my marine mystery crime novels at Washington Town Centre Library, Stockton-on-Tees Library and Darlington Library and I’ll be on board the PSS Wingfield, a beautifully restored 1934 paddle steamer, at the Hartlepool Maritime Experience giving a talk. This event is being organised by Hartlepool Library. You can find more details and booking information on my official web site http://www.rowmark.co.uk on the Appearances Page.
On 24 March I’ll once again be talking to Julian Clegg on his Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Solent at 6.45 a.m.
In addition, Deadly Waters, the second Inspector Andy Horton crime novel is being featured in a British Arts Council Initiative in conjunction with Legend Press, called Exclusively Independent until 10 March.
And I believe one of my thriller novels, either In Cold Daylight or In For The Kill (don’t know which one) will be published in Turkey. I will let you know when as soon as I hear.
Oh, and I almost forgot The Suffocating Sea is released in mass market paperback on 12 March.
So plenty there to be getting on with.

My fictional police marine unit in the DI Horton novels to meet real police marine unit at CWA Conference
My fictional detective, DI Andy Horton, is based in the Solent area and my Horton marine mystery crime novels include members of a fictional Hampshire Police Marine Unit - Sergeant Dai Elkins and PC Ripley - but I will be introducing the real police officers of the Hampshire Constabulary Marine Unit at the Crime Writers' Association (CWA) Conference in Southampton on Saturday 21 April.
The Hampshire Police Marine Unit's area of responsibility stretches from Dorset to Sussex and out to 12 miles offshore.
The Solent is the busiest waterway in Europe and one of the busiest in the world with around one million commercial and Naval shipping movements per year and in excess of 10 million pleasure craft movements per year.
Members of the Marine Unit will talk about how they provide a specialist resource to the constabulary, as well as a service to the boating community and the Hampshire public as a whole.
Their role includes counter terrorism patrols, the reduction and detection of marine crime, investigation of marine incidents and fatalities, policing large events, supporting the UK Border Agency, Coastguard, and Harbour Authorities and responsibility for countering serious and organised crime and preventing child abduction. The unit consists of one Sergeant and nine PCs, policing with three semi displacement launches.
I'm very much looking forward to their talk and no doubt will pick up plenty of ideas for future crime novels.
