The Bat: a coming of age story and a search after truth. (The Red Grouse Tales) by Leslie Garland
The Commoner by Kriti Avirneni

It has been a huge struggle for me and I am still trying to get somewhere but you have to keep trying. So the best thing for me is still to be able to come up with new ideas.

His dark eyes beamed red as he crawled out from behind the tree. His claws stroked my face and hair and I was unable to breathe for fear of death at the mercy of this monstrosity.

I have spent my entire life working in a full-time occupation. I write only when I have an idea and then leave it aside.
When lockdown happened I realized I had a box of ideas and works to complete and publish which I did myself on Amazon DTP.
I think the best way is to write when you can and leave it when you cannot think of anything else to write.

I've always been interested in poetry and started quite young in life writing little poems. One word I hear or sentence could spark off an idea for me to write a complete poem. Sometimes it is easier to spark an idea to write a poem in 10 minutes and other times it might take longer.
I could be watching a movie and an idea comes into my mind.

Eire West's idea came from working in the West of Ireland and spending some months working in Connemara where I started writing this book in my spare time. This was in the mid-1990s.
The Faery Tree was inspired by a children's story competition I entered in 1998. I was a finalist and kept the idea to develop into a children's book at some point. I got the opportunity this year during the lockdown on furlough from work. This year I have managed to get all my works published in ebook and paperback on Amazon.
