How do you get inspired to write?
Jon Cocks Once the initial idea lodges in my brain, it kind of gestates until I am compelled to start expressing it in the page. Every project, big or small, is different, but the initial idea emerges from any source near me, with which I have some kind of connection. My novella 'Duty of Care' evolved from the notion that teachers have a duty of care for their students, and it doesn't change, no matter how extreme the circumstance.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Jon Cocks 'Angel of Aleppo' was inspired by my Armenian wife Lilit’s own grandmother Anoush, who witnessed a Turkish soldier murder her own mother in 1915. When I first connected with Lilit in 2009, I quickly decided that I needed to learn more about Armenia. It did not take me long to ‘discover’ the 1915 Armenian Genocide.
