Challenging though her bridal gown was, Beatrice was careful not to trip as she made her way between the serried ranks of soldiers. It was unfortunate that her brother Charles, an epileptic, had failed to discharge his musket beforehand.

Answering this would be to give the plot away!! I am not sure my own life has too many mysteries, but life throws up plot ideas when you least expect it.

Getting something written. I also enjoy talking to people about writing and sometimes run creative writing classes which can be a lot of fun.

It can be anything. You never know from where or when an idea will come. It could be from a newspaper article, someone you know, being in a place. Who knows?

Try again. Try something different. I write scripts for film which is very different from crime novels

Not that gritty. My previous works are police procedurals. But "Dead in the Water" is primarily told from the point of view of Doug Mullen - he is new to the private eye business, ex-army, ex-runaway, struggling human being. It is set in Oxford, but town rather than gown. He is a nice guy in a tough world. Hope that covers your question!

Keep writing. Don't give up - as long as you are enjoying it!

I've been working on some short film scripts through the summer. Two have been shot, though they are both still in post-production. As for crime fiction, I have another Oxford-based one partially written (approximately one third of the way through), but this time focused on a private detective rather than the police.
