What's the story behind your latest book?
It's basically a light hearted poetry book drawing inspiration from some of my favourite films. It's my second poetry book and offers an alternative approach to the first by taking a more fun approach. I enjoy reading all forms of poetry and verse but with my latest simply wanted something that can be dipped into without having to go too deep. It's throwaway poetry if you like, but it's fun to write.
In reality the poetry books are a way of testing the water and exploring the process of self-publishing while I whittle away at something considerably more meaty in the background. Hopefully that will surface within the next few months.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
Simply a love of writing. Getting ideas, stories, articles and everything else out there for an instant audience. The fact that in today's age of the internet and social media it's possible to get feedback on work almost as soon as it's live is something I always enjoy. If it can spark debate or just brighten someone's day, then that's a real bonus.
