Was taxiing out to Runway 18 and crossed over hold short. When I realized; I made an immediate 180 turn back behind hold short line. I was not familiar with airport and became distracted. Tower instructed plane on approach to go around. This was first time in my 30 years of flying where I have not been aware of hold short line. I was pre-occupied in preparing for departure in gusty wind conditions rather than task at hand of taxiing the aircraft.
A pilot crossed the DBQ Runway 18 hold short line; which is a long distance from the runway; and upon realizing his error returned behind the line as Tower issued a go around to an aircraft on short final.
