1. A dream (inspired by a real road trip I took with my wife to Nevada, Utah and California) led to the start of my first story in my book Nevada Noir. Then I remembered it had always been my dream to be a writer.
2. Yes, I LOVE reading. Especially Chandler, Himes, DeLillo, Leonard, Ellroy, McCarthy, LeCarré…
3. I have 2 WIPS, a dystopian novel set in SE London and a Nordic Noir set in Sweden. After that it might be a return to Nevada…
4. Just do it! But also, don’t. Plan, prep, research – do your homework and due diligence. I didn’t, and I wish I had!
5. My parents and their love for books and film, my travels and adventures, the books, films, music, tv shows and video games I love and continue to discover, the English language, nature.
