Sample interview:
Tell us about KOSMOS

finds a strange pendant that sends him on an adventure through time. A new
episode will be released on the 1st of each month.

What made you want to write
serial fiction?
I have a huge list of ideas for books I want to write but never seem to
find the time to get round to. The story of KOSMOS
was one of them. In 2016 I read a serial fiction called Remade and realised that my idea for KOSMOS would work perfectly as a series of short stories. It's also
a fun way of experimenting with new genres.
Writing a full novel is a big task that takes a considerable amount of
time. Writing short stories is much more manageable. I'm a big fan of writing
challenges like NaNoWriMo and find they do wonders for my productivity. This
year I decided to take part in the A Story A Week challenge, during which I'm
writing the episodes of KOSMOS.
Tell us a bit about the
main character?
Matthew Smith is a sixteen year old boy with a lot of emotional baggage.
Since his dad died a few years ago life has not been good. His relationship
with his mum has become strained, he's being bullied at school, and has become
a bit of a loner. He has a crush on a girl but she doesn't seem to know he
exists. He feels like nothing is going
right, but everything changes when he finds a strange pendant. As he travels
through time he learns a lot, and not just about history. He learns a lot about
himself too, and grows as a person throughout the series.
Did you do a lot of
research for the series?
Yes. KOSMOS is a fictional
series but it has lots of historical information in it too. In each episode
Matt travels to a different period of time. In episode two, for example, he
finds himself in London
It was important to get the details right for the time period he finds
himself in to make the story believable. I therefore, did research into the
Gunpowder plot and Guy Fawkes, the type of clothes people wore back then, and
other elements to help bring the story to life.
When will episode two be
released?
A new episode will be released of the 1st of each month. Episode two, Gunpowder will come out on 1st March
2017.
