Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve only written one book so far, Duckett & Dyer: Dicks For Hire, but have been working on several over the past few years while also writing for television and the stage.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Duckett & Dyer: Dicks For Hire is the result of a long-gestating idea that took root in my head way back in 2007. The idea of a bumbling detective – like Inspector Clouseau – has always appealed to me and I figured a friendship/sidekick relationship would provide more comedy. Then, as usual, I decided to mash it up with sci-fi rigmarole.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Unlike most normal people, I keep all my plots and outlines stored in my head. I’m really going to have to stop that at some point.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Douglas Adams is the obvious suspect, but I try my best to skew away from comparing myself to him, because that’s just foolishness. My feet will never be big enough to fill those shoes.
What are you working on now?
Apart from the sequel to Duckett & Dyer? Well, my writing partner and I are currently working on a script for a television pilot about ordinary people living in a world of superheroes. We call it ‘Mild-Mannered’.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’ve found that this tweeter is very useful, despite what the current President uses it for.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
An idea can sound like the dumbest thing in the world, but with the right execution? It can be the most magical.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never give up. Never surrender.
What are you reading now?
Currently making my way through Andy Weir’s Artemis
What’s next for you as a writer?
If I knew that, I’d be a very rich man.
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?
