Quintette oF Questions: Vikki Conley
Today I’m asking Vikki Conley 5 questions about her latest book!
1. What’s the name of your latest book – and how hard was it to pick a title?
The Lost Moustache came to me like a dream. I just woke up one morning and the title was in my head! I said, “hello, what’s this all about?” and just started writing.
2. If you could choose anyone from any time period, who would you cast as the leads in your latest book?
Probably a shorter, younger and female version of Sherlock Homes. Frankie is the main character in my book, and she is dressed up as a detective in search of a lost costume moustache! Set in a theatre, the illustrations are stunning and intriguing.
3. What five words best describe your story?
Fun, entertaining, curious, unique and quirky.
4. Who is your favourite fictional team/couple?
Can I say the children from Enid Blyton’s The Faraway Tree? This book was one of my childhood favourites.
5. What song reflects a theme, character, relationship or scene in your book?
I’m going to have to say the theme song from Inspector Gadget! I loved this original cartoon!

quirky.

So many book launches and author talks have had to be cancelled, I’ve decided to run as many Quintettes as I can to share some great upcoming work – and let you stock up on things to read while we’re all self-isolating.
