I should probably have titled this "Write About What You Know Part 2", because what I have chosen to concentrate in my next book is another of my passions.
I'm rather fond of Planet Earth. I'm rather fond of all the things that grow on it, I'm even prepared to put up with slugs, and protecting it is something I believe we should all be doing.
At its most selfish we should be doing it for reasons of self preservation, but at best we should be doing it because everything else alive deserves the same chance of survival as we do.
So I have written my eco warrior book.
But, being me, there's a bit of adventure, a bit of mystery, some violence...okay, a far bit of violence, but this is aimed at teenage boys and I couldn't find any places to work sex into the story. I did manage beer at one point though, so two out of the three main interests of that age group are covered.
Its being edited right now and then I'll see what my publisher thinks. Watch this blog for news.
So, I have now covered the army and the environment, that leaves paleo-anthropolgy, modern blown glass and quilting.
