T.J. Sedgwick asked Simon Wood:

Hi Simon, I love your writing style. What did you do to become such a great writer? Was it just practice, did you take a creative writing course or have a mentor?

Simon Wood TJ, flattery will get you everywhere. I didn't take classes. I was a little too self conscious. I'm self taught. I'm am engineer by training and I took an engineer's approach to writing. I examined a number of my favorite books, broke them down for style, structure, etc. then built my books/storylines in the same fashion. I wrote a lot of short stories too which with refining skills.
