1. What inspired you to write this book? I just like writing to pass the time.
2. What exactly is it about and who
is it written for? It’s about the adventures of an aristocratic man whose career
in the Royal Navy special operations unit came to an enforced end by a brain
injury due to a terrorist bomb. He and a colleague open up a detective agency
and the book describes two of their cases. It’s just a handsome hero book for
people who like James Bond types fighting evil.
3. What do you hope
readers will get out of reading your book? Enjoyment and perhaps makes them think about
world problems and the role of goodness in life.
4. How did you decide on your book’s title and
cover design? A designer at the
publishers came up with the design for me, after some discussion.
5. What advice or
words of wisdom do you have for fellow writers – other than run!? Enjoy yourself.
6. What trends in the book world do you see —
and where do you think the book publishing industry is heading? I think women buy books and like a lot
of sex. Not my scene.
7. Were there experiences in your
personal life or career that came in handy when writing this book? I am descended from an aristocratic
family, way back, in Wales.
8. How would you describe your writing style? Which writers or books is your writing
similar to? I do not plan a book, I get an idea for a start and just see how it
develops as I write. I wanted to try a whole set of different types of book,
Thriller, Children’s, Sci Fi, Fantasy, Comedy, etc. Which I’ve done.
9. What challenges did you overcome in the
writing of this book? Laziness.
10. If people can buy
or read one book this week or month, why should it be yours? Why not? If you like handsome heroes fighting evil
this is for you!!
