Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Born in Manchester, England. I have published one novel through Amazon.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
‘Of That Day and Hour.’ was inspired by many of the strange coincidences that I have had throughout my life, and a few near death experiences.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Probably, but they will seem normal to me.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
George Orwell. However I am more influenced by my own thoughts and life experiences.
What are you working on now?
A new novel.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Amazon marketing services, it does work, although you may not break even.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Prepare yourself, marketing a new book is a lot harder than you think. However, a good book will sell! You have to get the title out there, and into people’s hands.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t give up!……Aim for the stars and you might reach the sky.
What are you reading now?
I’m not. I don’t have time to read and write. If you read other people’s work whilst writing, it will influence your own writing. Is that what you really want?
What’s next for you as a writer?
A new novel, and promoting my last one.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I would only need one; how to survive on a desert island.
