Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
Flight of the Doves - Set in Liverpool and involved "Flight of the Dove" I remember how it caught my imagination. A 12-year-old boy, in an attempt to protect his gentle, innocent little sister from an abusive step-father, runs away with her. He is trying to get to a village with a name he doesn't know in a country that is not his own.
How do you approach cover design?
All my stories are based in a make believe village called Beauty Bank and are based on inspiration from the places and wildlife of Cheshire UK. Each cover has to feature a part of the village I see in my head whilst writing.
