Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Philip J. Cook My last book 'I CANNOT KILL!'. I left certain open-ended options for the main characters but I needed to get away from the sea and the Grim. Some of the characters will be upcoming in this new book but I'm not certain which ones yet. That's the fun! Walking through the forest on a dim and lonely fog-ridden track, who will I bump into?

How do you get inspired to write?

Philip J. Cook I'm not really sure. I love reading and I have a vivid imagination. Or it may be the fact that I have a dream catcher hanging over my bed!

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Philip J. Cook Keep at it. There is the old saying that everyone has a book in them, well it's true. Just don't expect your first piece to be good enough to be the last. The fun of writing is being able to amend what you've already written. Write a word, any old word, and let your imagination flow, for any word can send you off on a tangent and you'll be pleasantly surprised at the outcome.
