Narrative:

I was preparing to land at abq to attend a meeting. I was passed to abq approach who advised that I should expect runway 3 and to report the airport/runway in sight. I was also advised that I had an aircraft in front of me and 1 or 2 behind me. I was xferred to the tower and requested to keep my speed up. I maintained 147 KTS in compliance with the tower's request. My normal approach speed is 80 KTS. The landing was uneventful and I notified the tower that I was parking at the FBO and would need directions to the FBO. I was instructed to exit the runway at taxiway C and thence to the FBO. Being unfamiliar with the airport, I proceeded to enter taxiway C and attempt to locate the FBO. I crossed runway 12/30 while continuing to attempt to locate the FBO. As I approached runway 8/26, I looked to my left (west) and noted an aircraft approaching. I accelerated my crossing of the runway just as I heard a woman, on tower frequency, instructing the incoming aircraft to 'go around since there was a small airplane with which I have no contact crossing the runway.' I called tower and she responded by requesting I 'do a 180, recross runway 8/26 and runway 12/30 to arrive at the FBO.' I followed her instructions and located the FBO. She also requested that I contact the tower after I parked. I called the tower and spoke with tower supervisor who informed me that I had experienced a runway incursion and requested my telephone number for further contact. I explained that I was unfamiliar with the airport and had not received instructions to contact ground. I believe the incoming aircraft could have landed safely since I was clear of the runway and it appeared the incoming aircraft was in a stabilized approach and far enough away that I did not present an imminent collision concern. There was incomplete guidance from tower by not providing progressive taxi instructions to the FBO. There was no attempt by tower to maintain contact with me as I continued taxiing on taxiway C, had passed the FBO and crossed runway 12/30. My decision to cross runway 8/26 with landing aircraft in sight. I plan to stop at all hold short lines unless I receive positive crossing clearance from tower or ground.
