My career is defined by deadlines and there's never been a moment when I haven't been able to deliver. I think it's a huge myth that writers use to not actually get on and do some writing. They're probably just tired or worse - lazy. Sorry, but the best thing about being a writer is writing, not sitting there moaning about it.(less)

If you're luckier still, someone might like what you did. I love putting things out there, I love having thoughts and inspiration, when it comes, is just the best feeling. I love that I bought a house and raised a family on my wit and ingenuity alone. Don't get me wrong though, it's bloody hard work as well.(less)

Escape by Jeff Povey
"REVIEW BY CERYS – YEAR 9

Escape is the third book in the ‘Shift’ series, and it just blows you away with epic but relatable characters, and awesome action, all set in a slightly different take on a modern-day city. The story is told from two perspecti" Read more of this review »

"The third and final book brings this amazing trilogy to an end. I remember when I first got the first book, Shift. Even though I was already intrigued by the synopsis, the book blowed my expectations off the ground. Funny thing is that I didn't even " Read more of this review »

The Serial Killers Club by Jeff Povey
"I loved this book; it was hilarious and I adored our idiot, unreliable narrator Dougie. The whole book felt like a wonderful parody of the serial killer/thriller genre, and got more than a few laughs out of me--and I mean loud, audible ones.

Jeff Povey answered Goodreads's question:
Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
I always start with What If... I've got four kids, they were all in detention at some timer or other, so I wondered what would happen if a group of 16 year olds left detention and walked out into a world they didn't belong in.

It was a real What If... See Full Answer
