“TOM CLARE
A young man sauntered down the lane leading to the park. He shook his head to-and-fro and walked in a curiously disjointed way, punching the air with his right fist and stamping his feet, raising little clouds of dust as he went.”

“TOM CLARE
From a child, I was gripped by the amazing imagination on display in Alice in Wonderland. In my teens, the wild and wacky Goon Show came into being on the radio. Later, I became a huge fan of Tom Sharpe and his wickedly funny books. The more Gothic writing of Daphne du Maurier, especially in Rebecca and Don't Look Now, and the time manipulation novels of William Boyd, linger in my memory. Absurdity, in all its forms, is my type of humour. In retirement, all these sources, together with the stranger events from my life, inspired me to take up writing.”
