What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write “A Black Saturday Afternoon”?
A real experience of being in Skegness many years ago, and I was confronted by Skinheads who hurled, without restraint, verbal racial abuse. There must have been at least 100 of them, and I vividly remember the green bomber jackets, tight three-quarter length jeans, and red Doc Marten boots. This inspired me to write the story so that I can inspire the world to see that love is greater than hate.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of “A Black Saturday Afternoon”, what would they be?
The theme song from Gladiator. I love this film and I’ve watched it at least ten times.
What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
Mystery, Murder, and Suspense.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
The Alone Time and The Liar.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
My favourite scene to write was where David and Abbie arrive at 10 Colney Lane, East London and David looks through the window of the basement house and sees Paul Broker, a man he knows because he sits by his side in the police training room and discovers that he’s the killer of his best friend Ray.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
Stretching my fingers like a great pianist getting ready to play the piano and deliver the performance of their life.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits. Success is my only choice, and failure is not an option.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
That in the end, good will always overcome evil, and justice will be served.
