Lots of library talks lined up for 2014
Three more speaking engagements in libraries have been added to my calendar of events for 2014 which means that I will be speaking and meeting lots of readers in libraries around the UK.
I’m delighted to have been asked to speak to readers at Bognor Regis, Worthing, Lymington, Yate and Weymouth Libraries about the flawed and rugged hero DI Andy Horton and how I write my crime novels.
I'll be at Bognor Regis Library on 20 May at 7pm and Lymington Library on 16 July at 7pm.
I'll be at Worthing Library during Crime Writing Month, an initiative from the Crime Writers' Association of Great Britain, on 28 June 2014 from 2.30pm - 4pm. I'll be talking about the inspiration behind my crime novels and the craft of crime writing.
Then I’ll be at Yate Library on 22 September at 7.30pm and at Weymouth Library on 22 October at 2pm.
All my talks are followed by a comprehensive Q & A session and book signing.
In addition to library talks I'll also be speaking at a number of U3As around the country. You can see all my speaking engagements for 2014 and 2015 on the Events Page of my website at http://www.rowmark.co.uk

What's on in October
There's a lot happening in October. This month sees the publication of A Killing Coast (DI Andy Horton 7) in Large Print on 30 October and Undercurrent (DI Andy Horton 9) in paperback. Undercurrent is available now in paperback. There are currently eleven in the DI Andy Horton police procedural crime series.
In Undercurrent, naval historian Dr Douglas Spalding is found dead in Portsmouth’s Historic Dockyard.It looks like suicide but Horton goes out on a limb to prove otherwise. Soon he's embroiled in a cover up at the highest level. Booklist gave it a great review: "As usual, Rowson offers up a thorny, multifaceted plot; a profusion of unusual twists; a likable yet complex hero; and plenty of fast-paced, knuckle-biting action."
A Killing Coast, published in Large Print on 30 October sees DI Andy Horton involved in an investigation into a body found floating in the sea off Portsmouth harbour. It throws his capabilities as a detective into question. Not only does he need to find a brutal killer, but he also has to prove he's still up to the job. A Killing Coast is also available in paperback, as an ebook and an audio book.
Mysteries in Paradise (Australia) said of A Killing Coast, "If you like police procedurals with a twist, plenty of red herrings, and a strong sense of location, you'll like these."
All the Horton novels are also available for loan in libraries in the UK, USA and Commonwealth.
And I'm delighted to announce that my murder mystery play, Murder at the Pelican Club, is being premiered in Kent at the end of October. Act One Drama Group Presents - Murder at the Pelican Club on 30/31 October and 1 November
Be transported back to November 1940 and the Pelican nightclub and restaurant in Liverpool during the Blitz. Enjoy the live music while the murder takes place and see how the well drawn characters deal with the twists and turns of the plot. The village hall becomes the nightclub and snacks will be on sale to accompany the drink you can bring with you. If you really want to get involved come in 1940s dress! Miss it if you dare!
There are several talks on the agenda in October and if you're a fan of CSI then tickets for the very popular CSI Portsmouth event on Saturday 8 November, where crime fiction meets crime fact, are on sale now, but buy them soon if you're keen to come along, because tickets are selling fast!
In between all this activity I'll be knuckling down to writing DI Andy Horton number thirteen. The first draft is almost completed but there are several revisions yet to be done.
