Blood on the Sand, the fifth in the DI Horton Series Now Published as an Unabridged Audio Book
July sees the publication as an unabridged audio book of the fifth in the marine mystery series of police procedural crime novels featuring the flawed and rugged DI Andy Horton Blood on the Sand.
Read by the accomplished actor, Gordon Griffin, Blood on the Sand is published by Isis Publishing and is available in cassette and CD format and as a download.
Blood on the Sand is published in the UK and the USA by Severn House and has received rave reviews in the States. Reviewer Booklist says: 'This is another solid entry in a consistently well written series. Like Ed McBain, Rowson works many subtle variations on the procedural formula (including very interesting relationships between Andy and a couple of his superiors). A definite winner in the crowded field of British procedurals.'
Set in the Solent area and the Isle of Wight, Blood on the Sand is already published in hardcover, trade paperback and mass market paperback. It will also be available in Large Print in December 2011.
Blood on the Sand
Inspector Andy Horton’s holiday peace is shattered when stepping out across an abandoned golf course on the Isle of Wight on a cold, grey January, he finds himself facing a distraught young woman with a gun in her hand leaning over a corpse in one of the discarded bunkers. When she professes to be the dead man’s sister and psychic, Horton’s old adversary, DCI Birch, is convinced she is mentally disturbed and the killer, but Horton is not so sure. Soon he is uncovering a web of intrigue that ripples down the years, and which someone is determined should never be revealed.
The others in the DI Andy Horton series that have been published as unabridged audio books are: Deadly Waters, The Suffocating Sea and Dead Man's Wharf.

Footsteps on the Shore - DI Horton 6 - now released as an audio book
Footsteps on the Shore the sixth in the DI Andy Horton series has now been released as an unabridged audio book. It is published by Isis Publishing and read by Gordon Griffin who has also read the others in the DI Horton series.
Footsteps on the Shore is already available in Large Print and as an e book, on Kindle, Kobo and Nook and in paperback and hardcover published by Severn House.
Published in the UK, Commonwealth and America, Footsteps on the Shore has been highly acclaimed both in the UK and abroad. American reviewer Booklist says, ' It deserves mention in the same breath as works in the upper echelon of American procedurals (those by Ed McBain or Joseph Wambaugh for example) and their British counterparts, including the work of Peter Robinson and John Harvey. Procedural fans who haven’t already read Rowson should be encouraged to do so in the strongest possible terms.’
Dead Man's Wharf, the fourth in the DI Horton series also received a glowing review from Audio File Magazine in the USA.
"Narrator Gordon Griffin speaks with an educated British accent, differentiating each character in this mystery through a slight alteration in pitch and cadence. His pace is measured, and his tone is grave. This is not to criticize, however. One must not forget that the topic is murder.
Gordon Griffin's delivery also enhances the story's setting, the Solent area of the south coast of England, with its atmosphere of mist and the scent of the sea. As gruff Inspector Andy Horton uncovers fact after fact concerning the mysterious deaths at a nursing home, the scope of the crimes only seems to grow. Griffin makes us feel the pain and terror of hidden violence. It's a moving portrayal."

What's in store for 2014
2014 promises to be another productive and interesting year. Here is a summary of some of the forthcoming highlights for me for 2014.
Events
The year kicks off with a talk to a U3A group and a radio interview on BBC Radio Solent in January, the first of many talks and public appearances throughout 2014, which is great. It's always enjoyable to meet readers and to give talks to audiences about how I write my crime novels. Throughout the year I'll be giving talks to U3A groups, Women's Institutes, Professional Clubs, Libraries and other organizations. I'll also be appearing at CrimeFest in Bristol in May, at CSI Winchester in March and then at the annual CSI Portsmouth, which I help to organize, in November.
You can see all my events on my website and I will be adding new engagements as they are booked. If you would like to book me to speak to your organization please contact me via my website at http://www.rowmark.co.uk
You can also view numerous videos of my talks and my books on my You Tube Channel and on my website.
DI Andy Horton crime series
On 1 January the latest in the DI Andy Horton series, Death Surge, was published in America. It is already published in the UK and Commonwealth. It is now also available as an e book.
Then on 27 February, Death Lies Beneath, the eighth in the series will be published in paperback and will also be released as an unabridged audio book, read by the very talented actor, Gordon Griffin.
In April 2014 the NEW DI Andy Horton, number eleven in the series, Shroud of Evil,will be published. More details on this to come.
I will also finish writing the current DI Andy Horton crime novel which is number twelve in the Horton series. The first draft is already completed and I am well on the way with the second draft.
In addition, I am working on the first in a new series, featuring a brand new hero,while also continuing with the next DI Andy Horton.
So plenty happening in 2014.
Here's wishing you a healthy and peaceful 2014.

A Killing Coast (DI Andy Horton 7) now available in paperback
A Killing Coast, the seventh marine mystery crime novel featuring DI Andy Horton has now been published in paperback. It has also recently been released as an unabridged audio book, published by Isis.
Publishers Weekly says, " Meticulous police work leads Horton to a particularly callous and ruthless killer as well as theft and blackmail…includes a few unexpected twists.” While US reviewer, Booklist claims it is "'Multilayered, twisted, and complex...with a surprising conclusion. A satisfying read."
When a body is found floating in the sea off Portsmouth harbour, Detective Inspector Horton initially judges it to be an accidental death. Soon though, to his dismay, he discovers he’s got it very wrong. Accused of being incompetent by his boss, and with the head of the Major Crime Team coming down heavily on him, Horton wonders if he’s allowed his ongoing investigation into the disappearance of his mother over thirty years ago to cloud his judgement. With no clear motive for the murder, Horton is sucked into a baffling investigation that he is determined to resolve despite the odds. Not only does he need to find a brutal killer, but Horton now has to prove to himself, and others, that he is still up to the job.

A Killing Coast is available from all good bookshops and on line.
