Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
I've been telling and writing stories for as long as I can remember. When I was younger I was fascinated by comics and comic books and I started by creating my own along with the stories to go with them. Stories are an important part of life in our family - we're all fairly avid readers and sometimes will have story times where we make up stories and bounce ideas off each other. My books have mostly come from extending the stories I made up during those times.
What's the story behind your latest book?
It's about a boy who finds the old toy robot he got from his Grandad is a lot more than he bargained for. When he gets the robot it hardly works but - being obsessed with robots - he repairs it with interesting results. Somewhere along the line he and his best friend get involved with an alien invasion and trying to explain to his mum how her favourite knickers got ruined!

The Roboteers by
The Roboteers started as a club for two school friends, Tim & Priya, who liked anything to do with robots. When Tim’s toy robot, Sugar, came to life and escaped, the Roboteers became involved in an adventure to save the planet. Through the first and subsequent stories the Roboteers grew and became a detective agency with a secret weapon – a toy robot called Sugar. Each book is a new story and whilst they do take place after each other, each story is independent and can be read without reading earlier ones.
