KOSMOS
is a serial fiction of 12 episodes. A new episode of this time travel adventure
will be published on the 1st of each month. My latest release is The
Soldier which is episode five in the series. In this book the main character, Matt, finds himself in 1943 during World War II. He
becomes a prisoner of war when he meets a soldier during the clash between
German and Soviet forces. As he tries to escape he finds out more clues about
the pendant.
What genre are your books?
KOSMOS is a time travel, pre-teen, serial fiction.
Where
can people get a copy?
How do you write your books?
I start with a rough outline and vague idea of the characters.
I'm definitely a planster. I don't like to over think it or outline in too much
detail, but at the same time I like to have an idea of what I'm going to write.
Who inspires your writing?
I find inspiration everywhere. My kids are my biggest
inspiration though. My nine year old got involved in the process whilst I was
writing the KOSMOS series. He was always asking what was going to happen, and
where Matt (the main character) was going to go next. It made researching a lot
of fun as he would join in with me.
Do you ever have days when
writing is a struggle?
I think all writers do at some point. I'm a big fan of writing
challenges like NaNoWriMo and A Story A Week. Hitting my daily word count isn't
always easy. There have been days when the words just didn't want to come. In
some cases those days actually turned out to be some of my most productive
writing days. The trick is to keep writing anyway. The first draft doesn't have
to be perfect, it just has to be written. The editing stage will sort out any
problems. You just need to get the story out and onto paper. The only way to do
that is to keep writing.
What's the best thing about
being a published author?
I get to send my thoughts and feelings out into the world. Even
if just one person connects with what I wrote and likes it it's the best
feeling ever. Every book a person reads leaves a little something behind when
it's over. It's nice to know that I can touch someone else's life like that.
Even more so if the reader is a child.
What is one great lesson you
have learned as a writer?
That I'm not writing for everyone. No book is for everyone. As
writers, we are writing for specific audiences, not for every person on the
planet. Some people won't like our books, but others will love them. I'm
writing for the latter ;)
If your book were made into a
movie, who would you cast?
