Tell us about your current work?
To Rise Again is a mix of paranormal, horror, science fiction and fantasy. It’s available as a paperback and ebook.
Synopsis: Just before the German occupation during World War II, the Marquand family flee their home on the island of Jersey in the English Channel, and never return.
Now, it’s the summer of 1983, and the once opulent Idlewild mansion is crumbling and derelict. The mansion holds a mysterious lure for 18-year-old David Simeon, who dreams of Idlewild years past, as it used to be. But who is the young girl he sees, endlessly wandering through its corridors?
As the nerve-shattering link between David, the girl, and the mysterious Idlewild comes to light, it it too late to stop the seeds of destruction and world domination planted there long ago, during Adolf Hitler’s last desperate throw of the dice in World War II?
The threads of 1945 and 1983 slowly intertwine to reveal a world on the brink of destruction.
Have you got anything else out at the moment?
Three other novels: In Shadows Waiting, Timeshaft, and The Jigsaw And The Fan.
We know you’re a writer, what else do you do?
I am a full-time writer, with two other writing roles as well as my novels. I have my own magazine column in a local magazine, and I’m a Public Relation s writer for the world’s leading CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) developer.
Who’s your writing hero and why?
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, because he created the most endearing and enduring fictional character of all-time, Sherlock Holmes.
If you could have been the author of any book in history which one do you wish you’d written and why?
The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, because it’s a wonderful fantasy tale that appeals to children and adults. I regularly re-read it
Tell us about your writing rituals – do you write in your Pjs, in your garden, in the pub or in the altogether?
I’m always barefoot when I write. But then again, I’m always barefoot, full stop. I don’t think Alfie, my charismatic budgie, would like it if I wrote in the altogether, because my pecker is bigger than his
