My Marine Mystery to be published as unabridged audio book
I'm delighted to announce that my third marine mystery featuring the flawed and rugged Inspector Horton, The Suffocating Sea, is to be published by Isis Publishing, the World’s leading publisher of unabridged audio books, as an audio book and digital download. You can read more information on my official web site http://www.rowmark.co.uk
The Suffocating Sea will be released in CD and cassette form in August 2009. It will be read by Gordon Griffin, an actor with over forty years experience who has appeared in a number of plays and television performances, and who also reads audio books by James Patterson and Patrick O’Brian. The Suffocating Sea will be on sale in CD and Cassette form around the World and available from Audible as a download.
The Suffocating Sea is the third in the marine mystery series of crime novels featuring Inspector Andy Horton and set in Portsmouth and the Solent. It has recently been chosen as the Best of British Crime Fiction by The Book Depository. It was released in paperback in January.
Audio books are the only means for some people to have access to books because of sight problems so that is excellent news and now with more people listening to music on the go having the novel in a format that can be downloaded will also attract new readers.

Radio Phone- In and Ferry Crossing
My radio phone in interview with Alex Dyke on Wight FM on 16 April was lots of fun. It was great to talk to people via a phone-in and to answer questions they’d e mailed in regarding my novels and how I write. I'd love to do more radio phone-ins so hope I can link in with other radio stations on this soon.
I was also delighted to find that the Captain sailing the Wightlink ferry from Portsmouth to Fishbourne, on my way over to the Isle of Wight for my radio interview, was Captain Paul Marshall who was the Captain on the St Clare at the time of my eight hour marathon book signing event in May 2008. He left the bridge on Wednesday - in the capable hands of his chief officer I hasten to add - to come and say 'hello' and chat while we waited to sail into Fishbourne.
All in all a pleasant couple of days on the Isle of Wight, where my thriller, In For The Kill is set. The Suffocating Sea (an Inspector Andy Horton crime novel) also ends on the Isle of Wight. You can read all about my novels, business books and more on my official web site www.rowmark.co.uk

Marine Mystery Country
Three of my crime and thriller novels feature the Isle of Wight on the South Coast of England. In For The Kill, the fast-paced thriller starring Alex Albury, is set there; The Suffocating Sea, an Inspector Andy Horton Marine Mystery ends there, and Blood Upon The Sand, another Horton crime novel, which I've just finished writing, is also set there. I've posted some photographs on my blog http://www.paulinerowsonmarinemysteri...
In In For The Kill, Alex's life descends into a living nightmare when his identity is stolen. Newly released from prison and living on a houseboat in Bembridge Harbour, Alex sets out on a quest to discover who framed him for fraud and embezzlement, vowing to destroy this man as he has destroyed Alex's life. You can listen to me reading the prologue on my web site at http://www.rowmark.co.uk/in_for_the_k...
In The Suffocating Sea, Andy Horton is forced to confront the past, not just that of the victim found badly charred on a burning boat, but of his mother's disappearance thirty years ago. As the pieces of a long ago puzzle begin to unravel it soon becomes clear to Horton that this is one mystery someone is determined he should never solve - masterminded by a dangerous adversary who will stop at nothing to prevent the truth from coming out. You can read more on the web site at http://www.rowmark.co.uk/the_suffocat...
And the new Inspector Andy Horton Marine Mystery is called Blood Upon The Sand. It is not yet published because I've only just finished writing it. On his way back to Portsmouth from Guernsey, Andy moors his yacht at Bembridge Marina on the Isle of Wight and discovers a woman leaning over the body of a man in the disused bunker on St Helens Duver. Soon Andy finds himself embroiled in another murder case, this time complicated by the emotional turmoil he feels for the woman who everyone believes is the killer.
I'll be reading an extract from Blood Upon The Sand shortly and posting it on my web site, ( and my You Tube channel http://www.youtube.com/paulinerowson13 but for now you can read a more detailed blurb at http://www.rowmark.co.uk/rights.php
I'll let you know when it's going to be published.
Hope you enjoy the photos. If you get the chance, the Isle of Wight is well worth a visit. It has some stunning scenery and is great walking country.

The Suffocating Sea To Be Published In Large Print
I'm pleased to say that The Suffocating Sea, the third in the Inspector Horton Marine Mystery series of crime novels set in the Solent area, is to be published in Large Print in September.
It will be available to buy via the Internet and on order from bookshops. It will, of course, also be available from libraries certainly in the UK and I believe also in America.
I have been told that the talking book or audio version and download of The Suffocating Sea is also being published but I'm yet to have a date for this. When I do get one I will post something here and on my web site at http://www.rowmark.co.uk/
The Suffocating Sea was recently chosen by The Book Depository as one of ten 'Best of British Crime Fiction.'
Here is the blurb on it:
The Suffocating Sea
DI Horton is called to investigate a suspicious fire on board a boat, but as soon as he arrives at the marina he experiences a premonition so strong that it’s almost audible. As he views the charred remains of the dead man he knows instinctively that this investigation will be like no other, and he’s right. Soon Horton is forced to confront the past, not just the victim’ past, but the mystery surrounding his mother’s disappearance over thirty years ago. As the pieces of a long ago puzzle begin to unravel, it soon becomes clear to Horton that this is one case someone is determined he should never solve – masterminded by a dangerous adversary who will stop at nothing to prevent the truth from coming out...
