How is Writing In Your Genre Different from Others?
This is the first full length romance I’ve written. That makes me something of a novice. Working in a completely different area to the crime and noir fields that I’m more familiar with was rather refreshing.

What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
My advice to aspiring writers?
First of all write. Keep at it and don’t let moments that are discouraging knock you from your path.
Make sure you finish one piece before starting another – I have friends who have so many unfihished novels on their computers that they don’t know where to turn.
Embrace rejection.
Work hard.
Improve your writing to the best of your ability and make sure that you carefully edit and re-draft your work.
Don’t be alone; the writing communities around the world are huge and can be very friendly.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The inspiration for this book was an unrequieted crush that I carried for a beautiful lady many years ago. She was a single mother and I could fully understand why what I might offer as a prospective partner was probably totally inadequate. While I licked the wounds of rejection, the premis for the story came to me and writing down the story in the form of a screenplay made me feel a whole lot better (eventually!).

About the Author:
From lowly beginnings as the co-editor and producer of The Rue Bella magazine, I’ve been able to grow as a writer and extend my efforts to short-stories, novellas and a novel.

My work has been included in some of the biggest and best anthologies and magazines around (Mammoth’s Best British Crime; Crimespree; Protectors; Speedloader; Crimefactory; True Brit Grit; Both Barrels; Off The Record; Grimm Tales)

In those collections, I’ve appeared alongside such greats as George Pelecanos; Kate Atkinson; Stuart MacBride; Alexander McCall Smith; Bateman; Val McDermid; Peter James; Mark Billingham; Seamus Heaney; Ian Rankin; Joe Lansdale; Scott Wolven; Zoe Sharp; Allan Guthrie; Reed Farrel Coleman; Ray Banks and a list of other notables that have me pinch myself when I think our work is considered related in any way, shape or form.

As well as writing, I’m a Support For Learning Teacher and am the proud father of 3 young children.

Fourteen-year-old Jason can’t work out how to get climate change fixed—until he saves the life of the mysterious and powerful Graham. Graham promises a reward, and Jason asks him to do something to stop climate change. The request is caught by the media, so Jason thinks the man’s trapped and has to keep his word. But Graham’s got other ideas.

A battle of wits ensues as Jason tries to stop his captive from squirming out of his promise. Encounters that initially sound like fun end up getting heavy, and Jason’s summer holidays get messed up by pushy reporters and resentful townspeople—not to mention a professor who seems to be on both sides at once.

Jason finds that things aren’t as simple as he first thought. With a deadline approaching, he has to decide whether to force Graham to honour his promise, or admit that he could actually be mistaken.

About the Author
I love to write stories that push you headfirst into another world, and keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time you’re there.

I’ve published some stories in some pretty fancy places, and have won some good literary awards, but Beasts of the Walking City is a story I’ve been dying to tell in a world I’ve been thinking about for much of my conscious life.

I live in California’s rural Santa Cruz Mountains with my family, dogs, chickens, and bees.
