I can’t think of anything better than choosing my next read, can you? Poised in front of that great wall of fiction in the book store, pulling out the ‘one’ from the many rows of flirty spines, the seduction of its blurb on the back cover that tempts you to take a nosey inside and leaf through its pages. Bliss.
I’m passionate about reading, writing even more so.
Whether it’s writing crime thrillers like The Tunnel and its sequel Where Old Dogs Die or a sentimental memoir-like piece in Black Bags & Scrubbers. As soon as I put my ideas into action and my fingers flutter across the keys of my laptop, I’m in literary heaven. From notebooks, scraps of paper and head-scratching plots, to the multitude of courses in writing popular fiction or freelance Journalism I’ve devoured, I have always been attracted to the beauty that is literature, in particular storytelling.
John Irving once said: "A writer's job is to imagine everything so personally that the fiction is as vivid as memories." And I love that.
My aim has always been to write novels that resonate with the lives we can imagine for ourselves. Original, authentic and thrilling fiction you can submerge yourself in. Something you can take into the bathtub till the water turns you blue, or makes you late for yoga, a protagonist that could quite easily be you, in a storyline that could quite easily be yours.
Would you know if it wasn’t?
Not if I can help it.
