Interview with an author, this weeks author- Michael Cargill
Michael Cargill
Author of-
Shades of Grey, Slaughter in Barnaby Close, Shelter from Thunder and Diary of a Dork
What genres do you write?
Writing is actually a recent thing for me and I haven’t really settled on any particular genres yet. The few things I have so far penned have all been short stories so it has enabled me to dip my toe into a number of different story types. I am a bit of a WWII nut so I enjoyed writing the two WWII stories quite a lot. I want to do some more but finding the right angle is the tricky part.
The idea I have in my head for my next story is a thriller. Thrillers are quite interesting to write actually. The surprise and suspense can be, erm, surprising and buttock-clenchingly suspenseful even for me as the ideas take shape in my mind.

Shades of Grey
John is not a very nice man. He works for the government. So who has tied him to a chair and what do they want? James is a British soldier during WWII. Tom is a young boy with a terrible secret.
Three stories. Three very different people. All of them battling to survive.
Available on: Amazon. com / uk
Shelter from Thunder
Sam is a quiet and lonely boy who had the misfortune to be born a few years before World War II. Finding shelter from German bomber planes is almost a daily part of his life now but he wonders when his luck will run out…

Slaughter
None of the residents of Barnaby Close are particularly unhappy. It’s in a nice area and the families are well off and caring. So why have they started killing each other?
