Pauline Rowson talks to Katie Martin, BBC Radio Solent about crime novels and CSI Portsmouth
I was interviewed on the Katie Martin Show, BBC Radio Solent on 11 August along with DI Mandy Horsburg, Hampshire Police, about crime writing, crime fiction and how it differs from crime fact. It was also a great opportunity to talk about CSI Portsmouth, a one day event that brings crime fiction and fact together in two panel debates. CSI Portsmouth is being held on Saturday 8 November.
CSI Portsmouth, sponsored by Bello, publisher Pan Macmillan’s digital imprint, which brings lost classics back to life, is now in its fifth year. CSI Portsmouth came from an idea I had following many questions I receive from audiences at my talks about how I research my crime novels. CSI Portsmouth discusses, through two panel debates, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, crime fiction and fact. It is being held at The Princess Royal Gallery at the National Museum of the Royal Navy in the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
DI Mandy Horsburgh who is one of our panel guests at CSI Portsmouth is an Inspector at Operation Fortress, one of the biggest, most significant stand-alone projects ever to be launched by the Constabulary, with its own 31-strong dedicated investigation and enforcement team made up of officers and staff drawn from across the force. The team investigate the most serious violent drug-related crimes alongside organized criminal groups who pose the most risk to communities.

With me on the stellar line-up for CSI Portsmouth 2014, part of Portsmouth BookFest, are internationally acclaimed best-selling crime authors, M.C. Beaton, Jessie Keane and Val McDermid as we join crime experts and officers from Hampshire Police and the Institute of Criminal Justice Studies, Portsmouth University.

Death Surge, DI Andy Horton 10, on special price promotion for Cowes Week
To celebrate international yacht racing and Cowes Week, Death Surge, the tenth in the DI Andy Horton series of police procedural crime novels, set against the backdrop of Cowes Week is on a special price promotion via Aerbooks
Death Surge at only £2.49 and $3.99 for one week only until 7 August 2014
What began as the hunt for a missing man becomes the search for a ruthless killer...
Cowes Week is one of the highlights of Britain's summer sporting events. It has been held in early August every year since 1826, except during the two world wars. Traditionally, Cowes Week takes place during the first week of August though it is sometimes delayed a week to take into account the tides or, as in 2012, to avoid a clash with the Olympic Games. Over the years the event has attracted British and foreign royalty, and many famous faces.
A telephone call from a frantic Sergeant Cantelli to say that his nephew, Johnnie Oslow, is missing cuts short Detective Inspector Horton’s sailing trip to France. Summoned back to the Isle of Wight, Horton learns that Johnnie has not shown up for racing during Cowes Week, as previously arranged. The investigation is ranked low priority by Horton’s boss, DCI Lorraine Bliss, who like others believes Johnnie has probably gone off with a woman. But events take a very different turn when the charred remains of a body are discovered in one of the disused tunnels at the Hilsea Lines in Portsmouth. With the arrival of Detective Chief Superintendent Sawyer of the Intelligence Directorate and Agent Harriet Eames of Europol, what began as the hunt for a missing man becomes the search for a ruthless killer

Ask the Author - Send me a question
Ask the Author is a new marketing tool on Goodreads which means that readers are now able to ask me questions about my crime novels, how I write and the writing process. I receive lots of questions following my talks, but not everyone can get to them, so if you have a question you'd like to submit then please do so. If I can't answer it immediately it's because I am out or buried deep in writing or revising the latest crime novel, but I will answer as soon as I am able.
Look forward to hearing from you.

The wonders of Worthing for crime author Pauline Rowson,
On Saturday 28 June I was invited to talk to readers at Worthing Library about crime writing and my crime novels.
Worthing is a seaside town and the largest in the county of West Sussex. It nestles at the foot of the beautiful South Downs, and is ten miles west of Brighton, and eighteen miles east of the cathedral city of Chichester. It’s not mentioned in my crime novels, whereas both Chichester and Brighton are but I think I’ll have to rectify that after hearing about its diverse population from some members of the audience.
It also boasts that Oscar Wilde and Harold Pinter both at one time lived and worked in the town so I was in good company.
It was a pleasure to entertain the small but perfectly formed audience at Worthing Library on Saturday with tales of criminality. It was the second talk I’ve given there, the first was very soon after my second DI Andy Horton novel had been published in 2008, Deadly Waters, and now there are eleven in the DI Andy Horton crime series, and two standalone crime novels.
According to Wikipedia "the area around Worthing has been populated for at least 6,000 years and contains Britain's greatest concentration of Stone Age flint mines, which are some of the earliest mines in Europe. For many centuries Worthing was a small mackerel fishing hamlet until in the late 18th century it developed into an elegant Georgian seaside resort and attracted the well-known and wealthy of the day."
After the talk I read an extract from The Suffocating Sea (DI Andy Horton 3) then took a lively Q & A session which was followed by a book signing and the chance to talk to members of the audience.
My thanks to all for coming along to hear my talk and to the lovely staff at Worthing Library for asking me to speak and for hosting the event.

A lively and friendly audience for tales of criminality at Ringwood U3A
On Thursday 19 June I had the pleasure of speaking to members of a very friendly and welcoming U3a at Ringwood. Ringwood is an historic market town in Hampshire located on the River Avon, on the western edge of the New Forest. It’s situated between Southampton and Bournemouth.
Apparently Ringwood had a long history of a thriving hand knitting industry. (I knew I should have taken my knitting with me). It became famous for its "Ringwood" woollen gloves, which were knitted in either cotton or wool 4 ply, and on fairly thick needles. Ringwood gloves were knitted commercially until after the Second World War.
But it wasn’t to talk about knitting that I was there but about my crime novels.
I entertained members of the audience with tales of the dogged Portsmouth cop, DI Andy Horton and explained how I plot, research and write the DI Andy Horton series and my other crime novels all of which are set on the South Coast of England, in Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight.
I talked about the inspiration behind the Horton novels and my two standalone crime novels, In Cold Daylight and In For The Kill. After the talk there followed, as usual, a very lively Q & A session and a book signing.
I give a number of talks around the UK to many different organisations. I will be appearing at Worthing Library on 28 June and Lymington Library on 16 July.
For all my forthcoming speaking engagements or to book me as a speaker visit the Events Page on my website
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.
