IN THE AUTHOR’S WORDS

Author interview

Interview submitted .

What inspired you to start writing?

I've always loved stories, yarns, such as short stories by Damon Runyon, or TV sitcoms such as Ideal. I discovered flash fiction and thought I'd give it a try.

Who are some of your favorite authors and books?

Currently, John Niven, Will Carver, and John Marrs.

What would you like to tell readers who have just discovered your books, but haven't read one yet?

It helps if you have a dark and absurdist sense of humour,

Who is the favorite character you created, and how did they come into being?

Peter Ord- the failed Gumshoe and author is based on my real life friend of the same name. His reach usually exceeds his grasp.

What are your future plans as a writer?

I'd really like to write a 'dramedy,' as they're now known. or a radio play. I listen to a lot of stuff on Radio 4 Extra, old and new.
