Pauline Rowson talks to Julian Clegg on BBC Radio Solent
It was a nice end to the year to once again be talking to Julian Clegg on his very popular and entertaining Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Solent. I
was able to tell his listeners about my new crime novel featuring
former Royal Marine Commando, Special Boat Services Officer Art Marvik,
who is introduced in an explosive new marine crime novel, Silent Running, to be published in March 2015 by Severn House.
And for all those DI Andy Horton fans I was also able to say that DI Horton will be back in a new crime mystery in September 2015, called Fatal Catch. Meanwhile the latest in the DI Andy Horton series, Shroud of Evil is available in hardcover and as an ebook.

Unveiling the cover of the NEW Art Marvik Marine Thriller
Well here it is - the book cover of my new crime novel, the first in the
explosive new marine crime series featuring Art Marvik, Silent Running,
which will be published by Severn House in March 2015. It looks
exciting to me. What do you think?
Silent Running introduces former Royal Marine Commando, Special Boat Services Officer,
Art Marvik. Adrift after leaving the marines, Marvik unexpectedly
finds himself being
used as bait to catch a ruthless killer whose slaying spree
spans the decades. In a race against time, Marvik is sucked into a
dangerous
assignment and a web of deceit that will need all his skills, and those
of his
friend, former Marine Special Forces Communicator, Shaun Strathen, to
get to
the truth. Their mission, to stop a ruthless killer before he kills
again.

It's December - it's The Suffocating Sea - and DI Andy Horton is on the case
The Suffocating Sea
opens on December 17 with the discovery of a body on a burning boat in
Horsea Marine, Portsmouth, England and DI Andy Horton, assisted by DS
Barney Cantelli, has another case to solve only this time it uncovers
something about his past and opens up the mystery surrounding his
mother's disappearance when he was ten years old.
The Suffocating Sea was selected by the Book Depository as "'The Best of British Crime
Fiction." It was also hailed by Booklist in the USA as "A gripping,
suspense-filled murder case...an entertaining read in an engaging
series..."

More photographs from Murder at the Pelican Club performed by Act One Drama
Act One Drama in Kent did a great job in putting on my play, Murder at the Pelican Club,
to packed audiences over three days on 30/31 October and November 1st
and I was delighted to join them for the last night on Saturday. The
play is written in the vein of Agatha Christie's Poirot but with a dash
of humour and music.
Murder at the Pelican Club is a departure for me as writing crime novels are more my thing but I
loved writing it and creating grumpy, middle-aged, gruff Inspector
Doyle, the complete opposite to the rugged and flawed DI Andy Horton, and the action characters in my other crime novels including my new hero Art Marvik, who will appear in Silent Running in March 2015.

A great crowd at Fleet U3A listened enraptured to tales of criminality
I was delighted to be asked to speak to the lovely members of Fleet U3A on 19th November about my crime novels and how I write them.
The U3A movement is huge in the UK and growing by the day. It stands for the
University of the Third Age and is an organisation that brings together
retired and semi-retired
people to learn together, not for qualifications but for
its own reward: the sheer joy of discovery!
Here are some photographs taken at my talk and book signing. I will
be posting a couple of videos shortly taken at Fleet. Unfortunately Yateley and District U3A have cancelled my talk on 4 December which is a real shame as I was looking forward to it and meeting some of my die hard fans from Sandhurst. The committee felt there wasn't enough time for me to give my talk and sign my books, because it clashed with their Christmas Draw! Judging by the queue that formed at Fleet for signed copies there would have been many people wanting them. Such a shame to deprive members especially as they would have made great Christmas presents. However I have many more talks lined up for 2015 including some lovely U3As around the country and talks to other groups, libraries and organisations. You can see all these on my events page. Hope to meet some of you in 2015.
