Had a great interview on Express FM this morning
I was on Express FM this morning talking to Darren Gamblen about my DI Horton crime novels including the latest in the series, Footsteps on the Shore, which is now published in paperback and as an e book.
I was also promoting the forthcoming CSI Portsmouth event where I will be appearing on a panel with crime writers, Mark Billingham, John Harvey and Michael Ridpath and police and forensic experts to debate crime fiction versus crime fact. It promises to be a really great day's entertainment with lots of speakers both from the world of crime fiction and crime fact.

Award winning crime author John Harvey to join crime author Pauline Rowson at CSI Portsmouth, 5 Nov.
I’m delighted that award wining crime author, John Harvey has agreed to be on the afternoon panel at CSI Portsmouth, where crime fiction meets crime fact, at the John Pounds Centre, Portsmouth on Saturday 5 November.
I consider it a privilege to be appearing with a crime writer whose novels I have enjoyed and admired. And flattered that my own DI Horton crime novels have been compared to John Harvey's Frank Elder novels by reviewers in the States.
John Harvey began writing in 1975, and now has over 100 published books to his credit, most recently a collection of short stories, A Darker Shade of Blue. The first of his celebrated Charlie Resnick novels, Lonely Hearts, was named by The Times as one of the 100 most notable crime novels of the last century. Flesh and Blood, the first of three Frank Elder novels, was awarded both the British Crime Writers’ Association Silver Dagger and the US Barry Award in 2004. In 2007 he received the CWA Cartier Diamond Dagger for Sustained Excellence in Crime Writing, and in 2009 he was made an honorary Doctor of Letters by the University of Nottingham. In addition, he has written many scripts for television and radio.
