Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live in the North of Scotland, with my wife Tess, surrounded by beautiful scenery where the deer and rabbits frequent the garden. I have written four books about the First World War being the centenary of the end of the War this year. I have also written a short, humorous book about the antics of two Generals in a fictional war.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Murder At Gallipoli” where I relate the action of the Battle of Gallipoli and the work of the Field Ambulance there before I question the reasons for the Battle and the conduct of some of the Commanders who I had previously held in high esteem.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
At times a tendency to make sentences into a question form.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love “Winnie The Pooh” and the illogical logic.
The Escapers by Eric Williams
What are you working on now?
A short, humorous story about two Generals and their antics during a fictional war in the 1920’s. The book is written in a purely conversational manner. The book “Lord Bigsby An Ambassadors Story” will follow on from “Bigsby A General Story” which has already been published. I am unsure how this works so I would appreciate comments.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Hopefully Awesome Gang. I know nothing about social media or blogging!!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write as it will surprise you what comes out.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Even if your books are not selling well to keep on writing. Eventually sales will come.
What are you reading now?
