I’ve always been a creative, ever since I could first hold a pencil and spell a word. I wrote my first books aged 11, and have not stopped writing ever since. I owe my love of writing to the fantastical books that fuelled the early warping of my imagination – Lord of The Rings, The Iliad and the Odyssey, Voyage of the Dawntreader. Writing is a release valve for the strange ideas that bubble up in my mind. It’s a way to let those strange stories breathe life and escape. I’m merely a conduit. If my stories bring a spark to somebody else’s day, then I’ve done them justice. There is nothing more rewarding for me than hearing how my readers have gotten lost in my worlds and characters. That’s what being an author, to me, is about.
