Book signing and radio interview

On Saturday 20 June 2009, as part of the celebrations for Independent Booksellers Week, I will be signing copies of my latest Inspector Horton Marine Mystery crime novels, Deadly Waters and Dead Man's Wharf at my local independent bookshop, The Hayling Island Bookshop at 11am - all welcome.

Independent Booksellers Week was first launched last year as a celebration of independent bookselling. Over 350 booksellers participated in a range of activities and events throughout the week. This year it runs from 15th to 22nd June and there will again be a number of exciting events and book signings in the UK in independent bookshops.

Before that though I've got lots of speaking engagements and book signings lined up. You can see them on my official web site Rowmark

I've also just been invited on to Wight FM, Isle of Wight radio,to talk about my crime novels. In For The Kill, a fast-paced, action-packed thriller is set primarily on the Isle of Wight. I'll be talking to Alex Dyke on Thursday 16 April at 12 noon.

What's on in May for crime author Pauline Rowson

May is going to be a busy month not only will I be writing the ninth in the DI Andy Horton marine mystery crime series but I'll also be giving a couple of talks.

May also sees the publication in hardcover in the USA of the seventh in the DI Andy Horton series A Killing Coast which was published in the UK in January 2012.

Like my other crime and thriller novels this is set in the Solent area on the South Coast of England, the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth.

On 2 May I'll be attending the committee meeting of the Crime Writers' Association having just been voted onto the commmittee.

On 9 May, I'll be guest speaker at the Basingstoke and Old Basing U3A which I'm really looking forward to.

I'm also looking forward to appearing at Waterstones Newport, Isle of Wight on 15 May, where I'll be talking about my DI Horton marine mystery crime novels and my thrillers after which I'll be signing copies of my books. The event begins at 6.30pm and tickets cost £3.00 refundable against the purchase of one of my novels.

Then on 17 May I'll be interviewed on Angel Radio at 91.5 fm or you can tune in via their website.

On May 25 I'll be appearing at Crimefest 2012 at the Royal Marriott Hotel, Bristol.

I was delighted that my crime novel, the sixth in the DI Andy Horton crime series, Footsteps on the Shore was longlisted for the eDUNNIT AWARD at CrimeFest 2012.

CrimeFest is a convention for people who like to read an occasional crime novel as well as for die-hard fanatics. First organised in June 2008, CrimeFest is now one of the most popular dates in the crime fiction calendar. The annual convention draws top crime novelists, readers, editors, publishers and reviewers from around the world.

On Friday 25 May I'll be taking part in a lively panel debate between 9am and 9.50am at the Royal Marriott Hotel, Bristol. There will be plenty of time for questions, followed by a book signing.

All in all a busy month.

Pauline Rowson video interview on the path to becoming a published crime author

I loved adventure and mystery novels when I was young, and this has continued throughout my adulthood with the enjoyment of reading crime fiction. I adore heroes and I think most women do and most men want to be one.

In this video interview just uploaded on my website and to my You Tube Channel I'm talking to Tony Smith about what got me into crime writing, my progression from reading childhood adventure stories to becoming a published crime fiction author and how my marketing skills have helped both with my writing and marketing my novels.
