Q: What inspired you to start writing?
I first started wring as a playwright when, working as an actor in dreadful new plays, I thought "I can do better than that!" Luckily it turned out that I was right.

Q: Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
It started when I heard an author talking on radio how a psychic told him he would did in one year's time. I thought "what a great start to a story". LUVVIE (a British, slightly derogatory, slang term for an actor_ based on the rumour that actors all call each other "luvvie" or "darling") is a post modern biography if you want to be posh. Some of it's true, some of it is not. My family hates it but then the truth hurts.

Q: How do you create your characters?
Usually they are a mixture of people I've known or famous people with a twist of lime.

Morning review of yesterday's work, write new stuff, fresh air, shower then rhubarb crumble.

-
Q: Do you have any favorite writing tools or apps?
My fingers and a keyboard.
-

Embrace poverty. You're going to be bedfellows for a long time.
