Simon Duringer An navigator wanting to bail out following engine trouble. His pilot not letting him. He prefers to die knowing his back seat driver is screwing his wife. They both die and in history go down as heroes for avoiding a built up area... An area they were miles away from.
Simon Duringer I have a book on the pipeline that answers that question. Unfortunately I've been unable to write cohesively for several years. I hope to get it finished soon. A real eye opener... :)
Simon Duringer I'd like to read Leigh Russell's new book. I've been fortunate enough to interview her several times. She's an absolute star.
Simon Duringer My better half. She's a complete mystery to me! Jackie Wilson, love you!
Simon Duringer Not if I can avoid it! I do author interviews but only on receiving and reading their latest book and in addition liking their bio. Most of the 70+ authors I have interviewed have become friends over the years.
I hope that answers your question albeit a year late!
Best regards. Simon.
Simon Duringer Generally, my life is so busy that if the mood doesn't take me then I move on to something else. One positive of being an Indie author is not being held to deadlines...
Simon Duringer Anything becomes possible...
Simon Duringer A few projects I can't mention yet, but also The Word Volume 2 (and 3) and of course Phoenix, the sequel to Stray Bullet. As soon as I have some time away from interviewing I want to get back to that, after all that's where it all started... But, it's difficult as the challenge of the interview and delight of the responses is simply so very moreish!
Simon Duringer Now there's a thing... you see it's not quite a book in the traditional sense. I like to think of it as a novel by novelists, 28 in total!

I have to hand a lot of that glory to my Godmother Josephine Bailey, the award winning narrator. She planted the initial seed by encouraging me to produce more content on my author website.... That turned into something quite remarkable and included some remarkable people. It just screamed at me... MAKE ME A BOOK!! So, I did.... Volume 2 is on the way :-)
Simon Duringer I don't think such a thing exists, does it? Writers are writers, perhaps you mean those whom aspire to be traditionally published...? As an Indie author I can't advise on such matters. For those 'writers' yet to be published on either medium, just keep writing... One day you'll have that eureka moment and know it's time to be unleashed upon the world :-)
Simon Duringer I have always had a great imagination and it often takes little more than a brisk walk on a nice day to get the creative juices flowing. In fact inspiration is the least of my worries, I doubt I will ever be able to download all the ideas that keep my mind busy onto paper... Hurry up Mr Gates I need a computer interface that can transfer my thoughts on to paper, ermmm, appropriately formatted, spell checked and packaged please! p.s. for less than a few hundred bucks!
