I hope you like my interview I had with the wonderful Cinta :)
Cinta's Corner
A bit later today, but finally I managed to put together the interview corresponding
to this series today. This time we are featuring Kevin Swarbrick, a British author of
novels based on his own life. But let's see what he has to say about himself. Enjoy!
Describe yourself
Hi Cinta, first of all let me say thank you for
having me on your blog, it’s a real pleasure
to be here. My name is Kevin Mark Swarbrick.
I am 37 years old and was born in Salford,
Manchester, England.
I am hardworking, Loyal, Honest, Trustworthy,
Reliable, Patient, Kind, Loving, Generous,
Outgoing, Witty, Funny and last but not least
charming person, so I am told!
What is your favourite fruit flavour?
My favourite fruit would have to be a Melon as I find them very refreshing.
What is your favourite day of the week?
With being self employed I would have to say Saturday as you’re more than likely
guaranteed not to be working on Sunday.
What is your favourite time of the day?
When I arrive home from work and I can concentrate on my writing.
Are you a morning person or a night person?
I’m most definitely a night person, some people call me a night owl but I find it’s a lot
easier to concentrate whilst writing. I don’t know why but my mind functions a lot better at
silly o‘clock.
What is your favourite breakfast meal?
That’s easy! It would have to be a Full English.
Which is your favourite colour and why?
With also being a Decorator there’s a lot of colours out there, so I tend to stick to all
the neutral and light colours, creams etc.
What is your most favourite book ever?
To tell you the truth, I haven’t been much of a reader due to my hectic lifestyle; it’s
been more of a case of writing invoices and typing estimates and being in the wrong
relationships. Since I’ve been writing over the last 2 years I have tried to do a lot more
reading.
Two authors I have been lucky to come across on my Journey are
Charity Parkerson and Dawn Torrens. I enjoyed reading Wicked Sinners and
also Amelia’s Story. I am currently between two books at the moment and they are
Amelia’s Destiny by Dawn Torrens and The West Wing Script Book by Aaron Sorkin.
The best one I would say I have read would be mine as I have never read the same book
so many times in my life lol
What kind of music do you like?
I like anything from Dance to R N B, Soul, Reggae, Rap, pop, pretty much
everything really providing it gets my feet tapping.
Which is your favourite genre of films?
I must say I do like my horrors and my comedies but I wouldn’t say I really had a genre.
What is your most favourite place in this Earth?
I would have to say my bed as I get to spend very little time in it and what time I
do get to spend in it is heaven.
Which animal would you want to be and why?
That’s Easy! I would have to live up to my star sign. I am a Leo that would make
me a lion; I’m king of the jungle, fearless against all and such a lovely animal.
If you could have a luncheon with any 3 people (real or fictitious), who would you
choose and why?
First of all I would have to say Cheryl Cole wouldn’t go a miss, we could go for a nice
romantic evening and the only Cole that will be on her fire would be me. If I wanted an
action packed day I think I would have to stick with Bruce Willis, after all I have always
fancied jumping out of planes and the rest. If I wanted a fun day I think hanging around with
Michael Mcintyre would be awesome, that guy rules!
If you were granted 3 wishes, what would you ask for?
Peace on Earth, Love to all and a world without poverty.
If you were stranded on a lonely beach, what are the 5 things that you would want
to survive?
I would have to start with some sun tan lotion after all if I am to survive the last thing
I want to get, is sun stroke. I would make most of the peace and quiet and the tranquillity;
I would need a fishing net and years supply of Snicker chocolate bars
(I’m addicted to them). I would also need a axe to cut down trees to make a tent and
make a fire.
If you could be anyone, who would it be?
That’s Easy! As Chesney Hawkes would sing (“I am the one and only”) ME!!
What is the one thing you wish you could change in yourself?
I probably would say trust, I do have a lot of trust issues going on under the service.
What is the one thing you wish you could do if given the chance?
Travel the world.
What would you do if you won the lottery?
I would look out for my close friends and family, I would have plenty of holidays
as well as travelling the world, I would make most of time to relax and write.
If you knew this was your last day on Earth, how would you spend it?
With the ones I love.
Were you a naughty kid or a nice kid?
I was a nice kid but I just kept getting in trouble all the time!!
What was the happiest moment in your life?
That’s a tricky question, I have had many great times but receiving your proof copies
for your books through the post is a happy time for me.
Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
Maybe by then my life will have taken a turn for the best with many stories out there
for the world to enjoy, maybe I will have a family or maybe even a wife, who knows
what 5 years can bring, all I can say for sure is that I will continue writing.
What is the weirdest/craziest thing you have ever done?
There are so many you will have to read my stories to know them all. Most of my life
has been weird and crazy!
What is your definition of an incredible weekend?
Going away somewhere for the weekend with your loved one and having fun and a
fantastic time.
Which is the best holiday you have ever had?
The best holiday I ever have been on is when I went to Kos in Greece with a couple of
mates that was a lad’s holiday, I loved it.
Have you got a phobia you want to share?
No not really unless the shop runs out of hair gel!
What makes you angry?
Liars
What do you do when you feel sad?
Try to lose the bad thoughts by getting stuck into my weighttraining and I try to
turn them bad thoughts into positive energy.
Who or what inspires you?
It’s crazy really what life has mapped out for you, but the main character in my
books called Sarah, gave me the main inspiration to write. It was Sarah who led me
on this path. I don’t want to say too much as it would spoil the story for you, but for me,
with the way my life was with all its ups and downs, this character along with true friends
gave me the drive to make this journey possible.
Congratulations! Now you can freely rant about your book(s) and/or projects.
The books that are complete are called ‘Louie Has Landed’ The Early Days and
‘Louie Has Landed’ The Second Encounter. You can find these on
Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. Louie has so far changed my life. It’s amazing that
people have connected to the realism and the truth behind my story. I had to write about
Louie but after a year of thinking nothing else but writing, it was done and Louie was
born for others to enjoy the suspense, fun and trauma that these stories hold.
Deliciously scandalous, some would say. With over 42 characters in the books it is certainly
a page turner, so I am told. These books are self published and out there for everyone
to enjoy. I plan to finish this third book I am currently working on and also try to turn the
Louie Has Landed story into script. Hopefully, in the future, who knows, you might be
watching Louie on your television, but no matter what, I will be continue writing many
more stories for my readers to enjoy and relate to.
You can also find me in most places in cyber space. My username on all these networking
sites is a really hard one to remember, here goes. Twitter you can find me @KevinSwarbrick,
also you can find me on Goodreads, LinkedIn, PInterest, Author Central, Igoogle,
LinkedIn and also Facebook by typing the same name Kevin Swarbrick, I did say it was
a hard one to remember! There is also my author page on facebook but I do use my full
name for that one ‘Kevin Mark Swarbrick’ I also run a facebook group called
Authors and Readers.
