Pauline Rowson to appear at Crimefest 2011
I'm delighted to be returning to Crimefest in May 2011 at the Bristol Royal Marriott Hotel, UK and will be on a panel discussion on Friday 20 May at 9am. Crimefest is a convention for people who like to read an occasional crime novel as well as for die-hard fanatics. It is now one of the most popular dates in the crime fiction calendar and draws top crime novelists, readers, editors, publishers and reviewers from around the world. It follows the format of US conventions and includes interviews, panels, a gala dinner, and one or two surprises.
On Friday, 20 May between 9.00am and 9.50am I will be discussing Operation Petticoat: Jobs For The Girls? with fellow crime writers, Linda Regan, Leigh Russell, Aline Templeton and Ruth Dudley Edwards. We'll be talking about the role of women in crime novels and as crime authors, and no doubt lots of other things 'criminal' in between. All my marine mystery crime novels and thrillers are written from the male point of view and have a strong male protagonist with Inspector Andy Horton featured in my police procedural series and Adam Greene and Alex Albury in my stand alone thrillers, In Cold Daylight and In For The Kill, so it should be an interesting and lively discussion.

My writing routine, crime author Pauline Rowson explains hers
There are a writers who write the same time every day come what may; others will write a certain number of words every day and say, 'when I've done my quota, I'll knock off writing.' Me? I have no routine and I don't count the number of words. Some days the words will flow and I can spend up to eight hours, maybe more writing. Other days I will struggle to find the correct words. If the latter happens I will usually pick up my knitting, do some sewing or go for a walk. My mind is constantly working though, thinking through the plots or sub plots, developing characters. I do, however, try to write or 'think' my novels every day. And if I can, I usually work on my crime novels every late afternoon and early evening, knocking off about 7.30pm.
I'm currently working in pencil on my outline plot, working up ideas for the new DI Andy Horton, which will be number eight in the series. Then I'll start to put down some character sketches before starting on the first draft of what I call the creative writing bit which goes direct onto the computer. When I will begin this creative writing stage I'm not quite sure yet, but it shouldn't be long.

Next Tuesday, on 3 May, I will be on the Book Programme on PortsmouthLive TV talking to Sally Cronin about my DI Andy Horton crime novels, and the latest crime fiction books in the marine mystery series of police procedurals including Footsteps on the Shore, Blood on the Sand and Dead Man's Wharf.
Portsmouth is DI Andy Horton's patch and the series is based around the south coast city of Portsmouth, the Solent area and the Isle of Wight.
I've been on Portsmouth Live TV a couple of times and I'm looking forward to my chat with Sally on the book programme on Live at 5. Hope some of you can tune in at 5pm on 3 May via their website
The week after, on Tuesday 10 May, I'll be on the Julian Clegg Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Solent at about 6.45 am. It's always a pleasure chatting to Julian Clegg, so looking forward to that interview too.
