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.

I've received the Turkish edition of my crime novel In Cold Daylight
I knew it was being published in Turkey but didn't know when.
I always get a buzz when I see one of my books translated into another language. This one looks good. The Turkish publisher has changed the title but I've no diea to what, perhaps someone who speaks Turkish might tell me.
In Cold Daylight is published by Babiali Kültür Yayinciligi and looking them up on Wikipedia, as one does, here is what they have to say about the company.
"Babiali Kültür Yayinciligi was founded in Istanbul in November 1999 and it started to publish books in 2000. It has extended its sphere of activities and brought important books into the Turkish market. Today it is one of the leading publishing companies in Turkey with popular authors and important books."
Well that's certainly nice to know. And it looks as though I am in good company along with fellow thriller writer, Harlan Coben. I haven't made it on to the Wikipedia list yet but if anyone would like to add my name to it please feel free.
So, taking a look at the publisher's web site Babiali Kültür Yayinciligi I found my novel and then punched in my name in their search field and there I am - photo and all.
I hope people in Turkey enjoy reading Gün Isiginin Ayazinda . And just for good measure I've put the blurb on In Cold Daylight , which was shortlisted for the World Book Day Prize in 2008, below in English.
Fire fighter Jack Bartholomew dies whilst trying to put out a fire in a derelict building. Was it an accident or arson? Marine Artist Adam Greene doesn't know, only that he has lost his closest friend. He attends the funeral ready to mourn when another funeral intrudes upon his thoughts, and one he has tried very hard to forget for the last fifteen years. But before he has time to digest this, or discover the identity of the stranger stalking him, Jack's house is ransacked.
Unaware of the risks he is running Adam soon finds himself caught up in a mysterious and dangerous web of deceit. By exposing a secret that has lain dormant for years Adam is forced to face his own dark secrets, and as the facts reveal themselves the prospects for his survival look bleak. But Adam knows there is no turning back; he has to get to the truth no matter what the cost, even if it means his life.

My talk to Broad Chalke, Women's Institute near Salisbury went well
Broad Chalke, near Salisbury is a picturesque English village with a beautiful church, stunning old English Inn, a post office, village shop and a village hall where I was giving a talk last night to the Women's Institute. The only problem was I couldn't see the village because it was dark! Nevertheless the welcome I was given was warm and light hearted and I've vowed to return to Broad Chalke in broad daylight one day, which will also give me the chance to see some of the lovely sweeping Wiltshire countryside.
Wiltshire is a county I am very fond of despite it being some fifty or so miles from the sea. I love the rolling downs and the pretty thatched villages and market towns and I am rather biased because I once lived and worked in Wiltshire. My husband was stationed at RAF Lyneham and I worked in Swindon and Chippenham Jobcentres many moons ago.
If you have read my thriller In Cold Daylight then you'll know that my reluctant hero, Adam Green, travels to the old market town of Devizes and rides across the Wiltshire downs.
Thanks ladies for inviting me and making me feel so welcome.
The link below is to the Indonesian version of In Cold Daylight but there is an English version. Not sure why it's not listed here but you can find more details on my web site http://www.rowmark.co.uk or look up the details on Amazon or The Book Depository

Crime Scene Fire Investigations feature in crime novels and at CSI Portsmouth
The Hampshire Police Fire Investigations Officer DC Terry Fitzjohn and Watch Manager Andy Earl of the Arson Task Force will be appearing at CSI Portsmouth 2012 on the morning panel along with Crime Scene Manager Carolyn Lovell from Hampshire Police and crime authors, Matt Hilton and Stephen Booth and myself.
One of my early thrillers, In Cold Daylight, is dedicated to fire fighters and in particular Red Watch at Southsea Fire Station, Portsmouth (England), my husband's former watch. The inspiration for In Cold Daylight came from a conversation I overheard while at the fire station one day when the watch were talking about the high number of their colleagues on one watch who had contracted cancer and some had sadly died. This gave me the idea of a story about a cover up over their deaths.
In Cold Daylight was voted third in an online poll as the most popular novel for World Book Day 2008.
An award winning thriller about one man's quest to discover the truth behind the deaths of fire fighters.
