Interview With Author Kevin Green
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Having worked in schools I started writing for an after school drama club and started making comic books to encourage poorer readers. Working with lot of SEND children novels were a little too long for their concentration so I introduced designing short comic books.
Outside of schools I work in mental health and sport.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Murder She Revealed will be a series. A family business. I never felt the comic books were good enough to sell/download but the children encourage me to publish on amazon.
Spent my childhood raid by my gran and loved watching Murder She Wrote. Thus inspired making a comic book for children using a similar model.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not unusual as such but short burst sentences as I feel it helps those children who struggle to maintain attention.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Growing up was the inspirational Stan Lee. I grew up wanting to be like him and create comic books. However, the genius has basically used all the super powers possible so my style will be more super heroes without any super powers except being a human.
As an adult I loved Anne Rice, the Vampire chronicles had me hooked for years.
God rest their souls.
What are you working on now?
Working on a couple more in the Murder She Revealed and also a comic book based on a teenage girl taking over a football/soccer club.
Also looking for local junior drama groups to perform one of the books
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’ve only just started and as of yet still finding sites to promote but Instagram and Amazon at the moment.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Risking a law suit from Nike but JUST DO IT.
Find a passion and write about that.
Life is short and we should aim for any dreams.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never Give Up
What are you reading now?
Actually, been reading a lot of comic books for inspiration. Always been a superhero fan and Spiderman in particular.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Just to keep enjoying writing and creating these comic books.
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?
Anne Rice – Interview with a Vampire
To Kill a Mockingbird – First book I ever read (at school) that wasn’t a comic book
