The idea for what is, a unique teenage love story. An epic saga, set against the background of that war, is based on my own experiences and knowledge of a time, a war I grew up in. Deciding to write it around a group of kids and teenagers, and their passage through life. That's not to say, the novels are age selective, they're not, and I cover the typical family life of the times.

The book series wil reflect the character's growth from childhood, to teenagers, to adults, and I believe I've been reflective of the varying roles of the characters as they age throughout the books. Indeed this type of story of where I grew up, hasn't been attempted before by anyone else and wanted to convey it to the reader with the reality of a war within a wa ...more

Characters that may be reflective of people we knew, or know.

There's also the fact that one day I can attempt those genres that I have loved reading since a boy, for instance, Fantasy Fiction.

Readers though for me, are who I want to reach and understand how they relate to what I'm writing. Because, there were times as a reader myself, that I was disappointed by an unseen curve. An untimely death of someone I connected with and grew to like, leaving me frustrated.

I like to think I'm aware of those intricacies and will try to appease the reader as much as possible with their expectations of the characters I have created in the Killing Streets.

The truth is I'm unsure who is still going to be around by the end of the end of Book 2. let alone 3 and 4. I mean, there are times I've thought I had everything figured out, and didn't. Witnesses, underwent al least three re-edits until I was happy with it. Teenage Rampage is currently undegoing another edit because of that, so too will the others on order to reflect the flow. I've no doubt that the romantics among us will be intrigued by the final book.

Writing, is a highly competitive industry, and you will be judged against other writers. Your characters against theirs. Your hero assessed against another, which I look genuinely forward too, with Tim Regan.

He's a hero who will appeal and by 1998, the complete article, and while I'm excited for people to discover him, and his friend Pat, the resident joker in the series.

The female characters do not play second fiddle to the guys, and of course, not every hero is a male. So, I guess the best thing about being a writer is how you see your creations evolve. Assessing them as a critic, a reader would, and making decisions, difficult as they will be, and of course, to who will remain and who will not.

Extracts from my First Interview

In this show case I would like to introduce Seb Larkin who has recently published his first book of a trilogy – “Witnesses.“ It’s a Crime Thriller with a Teenage Love Story that spans over two decades. Continuing into adulthood, and 1998.

A love story that will not only keep the reader guessing, but Seb himself as it will have at least ‘three different endings.’ Sounds intriguing!

“The sweetest things are left unsaid; The sweetest meanings misread,
Those sweetest words that to you belong; were left unsaid because you read them wrong.
