Susan Hancock PhD, is a former University Lecturer who has written and published academic non-fiction over a number of years. She gave up teaching in order to concentrate on her battle with a cancer which is now fortunately dormant. Fingers crossed.

In a surprising move, she became obsessed with the idea of writing a novel for adults and ended up writing three, the Anstey’s Kingdom trilogy. She has discovered that characters are hard taskmasters, determined that their stories should be told. It is not uncommon to find her in tears at the laptop when something dreadful happens to one or other of them. But they and she understand that some things cannot be changed.

Perhaps it's more that I have encountered issues that some of my characters struggle with, so these do find their way into the books. I have no 'alien encounters' in my life to fuel the plots of my 'Anstey's Kingdom' books, but I do have a deep personal understanding, for example, of the depression which Thomas suffers from - particularly in the second book of the trilogy. Other problems will be surfacing shortly in my fourth book: The Children of Auriga. This will be released later in the month.(less)

If for any reason I sense any reluctance, I always know that I've sent my characters in a wrong direction. Then it's just a question of going back to the last time that everything felt good and working out a new way of proceeding. Take the delete button to the faulty part. I do think writers shouldn't be obsessively word count driven - it's OK to sit and meditate for a while and feel the ideas simmering in your mind when they're ready.(less)

Anstey blog 20 William was back

William was back. I was walking along the shore, almost without hope, and there he was, arms spread wide as soon as he saw me. I practically flew into them, and he picked me up, whirling me around. It wasn’t practical or safe to be so demonstrative until we were hidden away in the cave, but, for once, I didn’t care.

“Oh, Beth, I love you, I’ve missed you so much. It all took a lot longer than I tho Read more of this blog post »

Two lost souls: Duncan scarred by loss, and then by betrayal; Spencer exploited by family and friends, submerging misery and insecurity in alcohol and weed. The perfect recipe for Jaz's talented take on "love in adversity". I adore all Jaz's work - t ...more
