I think it is an old-fashioned concept which, like male-chauvinism, has been or is being rendered obsolete by the rise of feminism. Many see the ‘Brits’ as ‘stiff upper lip’. There is an illusion – or myth if you wish – about British people that I would like you to discuss. I deliberately set the following books elsewhere to show that the characters were venturing through “unknown territory” both literally and metaphorically. I set “The Magus,” my first book, in London because I knew the locations so well. Have you ‘highlighted’ or ‘showcased’ any particular part of Britain in your books? For example, a town or city a county, a monument or some well-known place or event?Ī. I deliberately go in a different direction and follow my own path. This book will be nothing like Feehan’s though. The nearest analogue I suppose would be the paranormal romance stories of Christine Feehan. What other book or stories would you compare this story to within the genre? It’s still a WIP! I do find, though, that it’s going very quickly – probably because I myself enjoy the story so much. How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript? Probably the former, unless something drastic happens in the next couple of months. Will your book or story be self-published or represented by an agency? What is the one-sentence synopsis of your manuscript or project? The lead-female character would have to be someone very beautiful and with a commanding screen presence – like Angelina Jolie.īasically, my story is the one they should have adapted to film, instead of that god-awful mess “The Tourist.” 5. Guy Shepardson, the lead-male character, would have to be someone with suave, dark, good-looks, perhaps like Johnny Depp.
