Hi!
I'm really pleased you enjoyed the Original's trilogy! If you haven't already seen it, there is a prequel/origin story in the anthology Leaders Of The Pack.
My next novel will be a scifi/monster mash up thing and not set in Devon. After that who knows? I feel I'm not done with werewolves just yet, but all my ideas for what happens next are pretty dark...

One word at a time. Don't skip, don't rush, just get yourself in a chair and write the damn thing. No-one else will do it for you.
Also, ignore all those people telling you how to do it - most of them are as clueless as you are when you start out. Nobody knows what will sell and what won't. Just write - if you like it, chances are so will someone else.

The day the Others came I ran to my son's school, with panic forcing speed into every step, but deep down I already knew the truth. The Others had taken him and he wasn't coming back.
Haha, that's pretty bad....

Hi Naveen. Thanks for that, but this is a place for you to ask me a question, either about writing or my books. So, y'know, not for spamming this crap.
Cheers.

Do something else. Go for a walk, go for a run, spend time with my kids. So far, that's been enough for me so no idea what I would do if I was badly blocked. Scream a lot, probably.

The pay.
This answer should be taken with a pinch of salt.

I have just started writing a follow up to The Original's Return, my debut novel. It is about the aftermath and has a working title of The Original's Retribution. No more info, as I don't like to discuss what I'm working on until the first draft is done. Might be a while yet..

The Devil's Inn was inspired by a walk across Dartmoor with some friends. We ended up in a pub where the fire has burned for over 200 hundred years and the pub is said to have been visited by the Devil. As soon as I heard this, I knew I could write a horror story with that setup.
