Can you tell me
something about yourself?
I guess it’s hard to describe yourself to others but here
goes. I don’t have any friends only my sister, my book gives a lot away about
me and my habits bad as well as good. I love small rodents and have had them as
pets since I was small, in fact they have grown in size as I have LOL, mice,
then rats now ferrets; People think I’m strange but I gave up a long time ago
caring what others think. I like playing my guitar and singing. I keep myself
busy and I do what I want. A solitary life maybe; but I got used to that a long
time ago. On a lighter note I have a wicked sense of humour but not always
appreciated!
What inspired you to
write?
My feelings. It started off as a release and just grew.
Who are your favourite
authors?
Hmm I have loads; Thomas Harris; Stephen King; James
Herbert; James Patterson; to name just a few and I loved The lovely Bones by
Alice sebold.
Can you tell me
something about your latest book?
The Double Edged Sword is based around mine and my sister’s
childhood I just took it from there. It says a lot about me, that I would
rather live in my make believe world with Vampires than in this real world. I
guess it’s my escape. There are going to be 3 books in this series; I am
currently writing the sequel called A Leap of Faith which picks up where this
story ends. The Double Edged Sword is a Dark fantasy with a hint of romance and
a bit of good old slaughter thrown in for good measure.
Wow! So how long did it take you to write it?
It took about 5
months to actually write it. Then the real work starts J
Can you tell us
something about the writing process, do you have a set time for writing, did you
do any research or anything else of interest that was involved?
I did do research about one particular Vampire in my book
but I can’t divulge which one cause it would give a part of the story away. I
went on a Jack The Ripper tour around Whitechapel to gain more insight into his
crimes. I visited a few of the areas around London where most of my book is
based. The Jack the Ripper tour was awesome and I may go again on Halloween
night. I did used to write for 2 hours a day and hopefully, I’m now going to
get back into that.
What do you think
readers will come away with when they have finished your book.
That’s a hard one; Probably a tinge of sadness for the
main character but I hope a need to read the follow up.
Can you give us an interesting paragraph or two from the
book:
As I walked through the
mist laden streets, images of bygone days
and of Jack The Ripper flooded my mind. It was eerie, and I
got the same strange sense I was being followed.
I
wondered how those women must have felt, walking through the dark cobbled
streets in the mist alone, looking to make a quick buck. But what they found
was more terrifying than they could ever have imagined in their wildest dreams.
Had they been that desperate as to venture out alone? London had always had a
seedy, dark reputation; and back then it was full of undesirables. It seemed
everyone in Jack’s day would have been
fair game.
I
wondered if he felt the same disregard and hatred for humans as I did. Did he
feel inside, that by ridding the human race of these down
and outs, he was somehow doing the world a justice? I wondered why he
had only picked women. If he was indeed a vampire, he could
have overcome anyone. Maybe it was just his own personal
taste; after all I preferred sucking the life out of men. But to me that’s what I called poetic justice.
