Over 150 people packed the hall to listen to tales of crime
Over a hundred and fifty people packed the hall in Southampton on 1 April to hear me talk about the writing process and the DI Andy Horton crime series set on the South Coast of England.
I entertained members of Southampton U3A with the exploits of the rugged and flawed detective, and talked about the inspiration behind the series which is published in the UK and USA by Severn House and which has been translated into several languages.
I spoke about how I plot and research the police procedural crime novels and gave a reading from The Suffocating Sea, number three in the Horton series, before taking a number of questions from the floor.
Shroud of Evil, the eleventh in the DI Andy Horton crime series is published in the the UK and Commonwealth this month in hardcover, and will be published in the USA in August, when it will also be released as an ebook.
It was a fantastic event and books were very quickly sold out. U3A audiences are always a delight to speak to.
My next event is on Friday 16 May when I will be chairing a panel of crime authors at Crimefest, Bristol.
I'll also be giving a talk at Bognor Regis Library on 20 May.

Shroud of Evil, the new DI Andy Horton, Video Book Trailer
How far would you go to protect a secret? Would you risk your job for it, your friends your family? Would you kill for it?
The story behind the latest DI Andy Horton crime novel, Shroud of Evil number eleven in the series, explores the corrosiveness of secrets. It plunges the flawed and rugged detective,Andy Horton, into a complex murder investigation in which he is forced to withhold vital information because of his own secret and his fear of exposure, even though he knows that in doing so he is putting his professional career on the line.
What drives people to keep secrets? Is it out of shame, from fear, or guilt? Is it for safety and security? For the protection of oneself or of others? Is it to preserve a way of life, or for sanity or vanity?
In Shroud of Evil there are many secrets. Withholding a secret can hurt, so can revealing it. For Horton revealing his quest to uncover the truth of his mother’s disappearance means exposing his emotions, something he’s learned the hard way never to do because it would make him vulnerable and vulnerability is there to be exploited by others.
Secrets can be kept for years, as they have been by those involved in the murder investigation in Shroud of Evil but it is one person’s determination to expose a secret and exploit it for his own gain that rips apart the fabric of many lives. And once a secret is exposed nothing is ever the same again.
