What is your next project? Will it be coming soon?
My next project is one of myriad stories, I have a prequel to Dead Men Lie which just needs some reworking editing and tiding up so that could be out in a few months then I have a family history to complete for my granddaughter so she knows her history and where she came from. But what appeals to me is a story set in 1243 about a storm of epic proportions. Whichever I chose it will be available next Christmas.
What do you like to read?
I love anything military and historical, combine the two and I am happy for days, I read Clive Cussler, Bernard Cornwall, Douglas Reaman and lots of other authors. I enjoy any autobiography of those who have lived a long and interesting life and hate anything to do with pop stars or so called celebrities. I actually read and like all the J.K Rowling Harry Potter books.
If your book was made into a film: who would play your leading characters?
Funnily enough we have discussed this at length. If the chance ever occurred I would have to choose English actors, some of whom may not be that well known. So for the Reverend Edward Bayles I would ask a fine character actor by the name of Philip Martin-Brown. I think he would give the character a lot of depth. Abigail Wood I would ask Michele Dockery best known for her role as Lady Mary Crawley in Downton Abbey, she is feisty but innocent at the same time. As for Benjamin Turnbottle I think another Downton actor would fit the role nicely he is Rob James-Collier who plays Thomas barrow the under butler. These three would do my creations proud.
