I am interested in reading – and writing – books that have some meaning, some impact; that do not just entertain, but make us into better people. Fiction has great power to change us: we take the hero’s journey with them, and so stories can lead us deeper into the truth of who we are.

My writing process leaves me mystified

For most of the year, people in my life pretend I have more normal hobbies – safe, ordinary things like skydiving or competitive fire-eating. But in the run-up to a book launch, all the difficult questions are wheeled out: Where do you get your ideas? Do you earn any money from writing? Why on Earth do you do this to yourself?

So, here’s my attempt at answering:

This tackles difficult subjects sensitively, but in a voice that teens will definitely be able to relate to. It felt very real, with a hint of wry humour to alleviate the dark subject matter. In some ways, it was difficult to fully engage with the st ...more

I was absolutely captivated by the style, the characters, the setting... the fact that the plot moved extremely slowly didn't bother me at all. Considering the main plot is about time-travelling Nazis, it's surprising that I found the romance the mos ...more

Full of inspiration and engagingly written. Moments of luminous lyricism were offset by modern earthiness, bringing the mythic metaphors into the realm of the everyday. Although I'm not a Christian, I found the way the author used myth to explore Chr ...more

Orange by Curtis Garner
