Lou Collins Hi Julie. Thanks for your question. This short story takes place before the events in the main series. Hope that helps!
Lou Collins I'm working on 2 projects. The Death of Light which is Book 2 in the Scolaris mystery series and The Only Way is Murder, which is Book 1 in a new cozy mystery series.
Lou Collins The Death of Knowledge is about to release in February 2022. I wrote it during the Covid lockdown and at the time all theatres and arts venues were shut. It made me wonder what it would be like to live in a world without the creative arts and that was the spark of an idea.
Lou Collins Just write! Make writing a habit, something you do every day, like brushing your teeth. It's hard to begin with but the daily practice makes it easier.
Lou Collins Being in absolute control of your author business. I'm a control freak!
Lou Collins I don’t believe in writer’s block. If I’m finding a section hard to write I adopt a number of strategies 1) go forward to a scene that I can’t wait to write and then go back or 2) mind map the difficult section to explore new ideas and 3) go for a long walk. The solution invariably appears when you least expect it!
