When did you first start writing?
Well, writing has always been part and parcel of my life. I always excelled at English in school and wrote short stories just for my own amusement. In retrospect, I never ever thought about publishing anything. And looking back I wish I had. But here I am, years later, and I feel driven to write and enjoy the fact that I am getting some work out there.
What's the story behind your latest book?
My first full-blown novel is called 'Internecine' and it was the sort of novel that I had always wanted to write. It's based around remoteness and loneliness, and how two normally law-abiding people get drawn into a situation that eventually wrecks their usually peaceful lives. It is about a brother and a sister who run a guest house on the Cornish coast who one day, find a decomposed corpse and a great deal of money. They take the money but find that the stolen money comes at a brutal price. One that destroys their lives.
I intend to write more of this kind of fiction.
