On research with Hampshire Police Marine Unit

On
Wednesday 17 February I spent the morning on research with the
wonderful Hampshire Police Marine Unit who I have a lot of admiration
for.  They police one of the busiest stretches of water in Europe indeed
in the World. And the marine unit features in my DI Andy Horton crime novels.  Fatal Catch, DI Andy Horton 12, is dedicated to Hampshire Police and the Marine Unit.

Q & A - What has been your greatest struggle as a writer?

From the moment I discovered a wonderful place full of free books - my

be an
author or a journalist.  I made it to being an author but it took a
very long time and I am pleased to say a highly successful career in
marketing and PR before I got there working for multinational companies
before running my own Marketing and PR Agency which I sold in 2003 to
concentrate on a writing career.
