Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Huh, me? I haven’t written any books sir, I am the star of a book! Thas’ right my friend, I am Frazzle; fooled you, and I can tell that you don’t fool easy! Its all in the eyebrows, see? You can tell a lot from a person’s eyebrows you know.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Well now, the name of the book, that stars me (did I mention that before? huzzah!) is called “I Am Not Frazzle!” – oh but you are I hear you cry and you would be right, see, I said before, no fooling you is there? Well this book is bigger than me, you see, for I’m only staring in one story, I did chat to my agent about this but he insisted that others had to have some time in the spotlight too. So the full title, to be honest is “I Am Not Frazzle – and other stories for grownups!”
Anyway the book has been inspired by a charity that is very dear to both my hearts (dragon’s have two y’know, yeah, its not something I like to boast about but hey, Phil Collins did write a song about my hearts.) Anyway, I am keen to point out that all the proceeds of this book will be donated to the registered charity, The Devizes and District Opportunity Centre, they help kids with disabilities and learning difficulties get a good start to life. Great isn’t it?
The book has ten stories in it, all from the crème de la crème of self-publishing, they include that Darren Worrow, some bloke that developed the whole idea, wrote “White Space Van Man” too, check it out, Maria Miller author of “A Tribute to the Mother of the Waters” and “Abandoned China Dolls,” James Penhaligon who wrote the amazingly funny “Speak Swahili Dammit!” Holly Kothe who is a rising star with her “Sweet Violent Femmes” book, David Darby, author of the excellent thriller, “Driven,” Paul Howard from the Phoenix and Beethoven Incident series, Richelle E Goodrich author of the brilliant children’s series The Harrowbethian Saga, Nancy Brooks of Legendseeker fame, the incredible writer Cecily Magnon, Graham Downs, the author of “A Petition to Magic,” and “Heritage of Deceit,” and, and, and, well, there might be some others, I forget now!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Hey, what do you mean, I have no habits! Who have you been talking to, who told you this? Huh? Huh? If you’ve been talking to that evil knight Gordoth I will have to, ermm….I will have to, well, I would have to have a little cry. I do have a bit of a craving for the odd chocolate frog or ten, but I’m only dragon after all.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
All of the amazing authors that have kindly contributed a story to this book, oh and that Roald Dahl is pretty good too, I mean, a giant peach, who would want to live on a giant peach?
What are you working on now?
I am working on a huge chocolate frog, I’m gonna eat his legs, then his body and then his head. The authors are working on new books, not much to write home about though, I am the star really.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I stride up to these so-called book promotion sites and shout “Huzzah!” breath a little fire and demand that they plug “I am not Frazzle!” It gets the desired effect, they all laugh and say “no!”
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Yeah, don’t write a book about dragons, we are a presumptuous bunch.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I heard the King of Lorff tell me once, “eat chocolate frogs, they are good for you!” Believe it kids!
What are you reading now?
I am reading “50 Lampshades of Clay,” its not what I thought it would be about.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Me, I am Frazzle, who knows, another book perhaps, “I am Frazzle!”
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?
Puff the Magic Dragon.
The Hobbit, that’s got a dragon in it.
Harry Potter, that’s got a dragon in it too.
No Tea, no Shade, that’s got a dragon….. what? Oh sorry, it’s a drag queen in that one.
