Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am in my mid-fifties and have lived all my life in England. I am married to David who is a scientist. I have worked in the finance industry for most of my adult life, and in my late 40’s I decided to fulfil an ambition to ride a motorbike, specifically a scooter. I passed my CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) and now ride the bike of my dreams – a Vespa look-alike called Monty who features in the book.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My first book DUST Book One is published this month on Kindle, KOBO, Barnes and Noble, Apple iBooks, and soon on Google Play. I got my inspiration for the DUST series from two things that happened on a holiday in Devon earlier this year. Whilst walking down to the Quay area of Exeter, I saw some Parkour jumpers leaping across a gap in the car park.
What authors, or books have influenced you?

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write what drives you, and get professional help for those areas you aren’t good at. Get beta readers, friends, family and take their comments seriously. I got four mistakes found by my beta readers and proof-editor, and they stopped me from looking like an idiot.

Keep going

Tony Moyles latest book “The Idiots Club”

deciding on whether Book Two of Dust is the end, or if there is a genuine third book in the story.
