Katt of Ten Tales is ten short stories. The Old Man and the Jackal is based on two characters in a pub I used to visit. A Shattered Life was inspired by someone I knew briefly in my other career in forensic mental health. All of them contain glimpses of characters that I have or observed in my life.

When I was young I had to work in other careers. Now I have the money to just write and I live among amazing scenery with my soul mate and a fat ginger cat. Paradise. It's great to have a brief idea and then put it down n words and watch the characters develop.

Gasping for breath she raced towards the house opening and slamming the front door in one fast move. Peering through the tiny glass pane in the door she sighed with relief to see it had gone, but then she felt the claws dig into her bare shoulders.

I was always a story teller. Meeting Brendan Behan at an early age and realising that writers made enough money to drink all day was an inspiration!

Keep writing. Never give up. Don't use best friends for criticism. Neither use those self opinionated types you feel they have to be negative. Use sensible people who read a lot. My wife is my best critic. She reads avidly and if I write something that does not sound right she will have no difficulty in telling me.

I never have had it. I am blessed with an imagination that never stops churning over. The downside is sometimes sleepless nights. On a training course many years ago the instructor asked us to speak without notes on a chosen subject for five minutes. Most of the subjects were topical news items etc. He thought he could catch me out by mine being 'Grass'. After twenty five minutes he pleaded with me to stop.
