Gave a talk last night and I'm giving a radio interview tomorrow
I gave a talk last night to a small group of ladies of the Koinona Club who made me very welcome. I've uploaded a couple of photographs here. I talked about how I write my crime fiction and about my marine mystery crime and thriller novels set on the South Coast of England. They feature the rugged and flawed detective, Inspector Andy Horton and are set against the backdrop of the sea. Tomorrow I am giving a radio interview on Express FM on the Sally Cronin programme between 1.30 pm and 4.30pm. You can listen via the Express FM web site or on 93.7fm.
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.

A Killing Coast
Lovely audience at Test Villages U3A
On 5 June I gave a talk about my DI Andy Horton mystery crime novels set in the Solent area on the South Coast of England, to the Test Villages U3A group at a village called Longstock near Stockbridge in the heart of the Hampshire countryside.
It was a glorious sunny day and the audience were lovely. They asked lots of questions about my flawed and rugged detective, DI Andy Horton, and my life of crime, writing that is.
I've posted a couple of photos from the event here on Goodreads.
U3As are self-help, self-managed lifelong learning co-operatives for older people no longer in full time work, providing opportunities for their members to share learning experiences in a wide range of interest groups and to pursue learning not for qualifications, but for fun.
Next up is a talk to the Emsworth U3A on 21 June. I'm looking forward to it.
