edit data

With a background in journalism and military research, Terence Strong wrote the manuscripts of two action adventure thrillers before WHISPER WHO DARES was snapped up by Hodder & Stoughton and became an instant bestseller in 1982.

That first authentic SAS thriller was followed by three more about different activities of the Special Air Service Regiment.

Those well-researched storylines expanded to cover the exciting and unknown realms of counter-terrorism, espionage, hostage negotiation, ship-hijacking, narcotics, assassination and international affairs.

One particularly well-regarded title was THE TICK TOCK MAN which explored the dark arts of the terrorist and bomb disposal.

Hi Mr. Strong, After reading your Bomb Disposal Thriller "The Tick Tock Man," I'm curious, are you planning a follow-up novel to Major Harrison's exploits? I loved reading "The Tick Tock Man" and it would be very exciting to see a sequel or a movie! Thank you for honoring the bravery of England's elite EOD Felix Unit!

I've always hought if I've done a good job, there's not much left to say. My concession to this is to often have overlapping characters and/or situations. In my new thriller WORD OF WAR, there's the editor of a struggling redtop making a reappearance from an entirely different story that went before SOME UNHOLY WAR.
But if your a fan of series, you'll be pleased to know I think this new set-up has legs as it's the world of "close-protection" with loads of scope for my main characters. Two new titles semi-planned to follow.
So sorry, Major Harrison has had his time in the sun. Another new day awaits.
Thanks for asking and I'm so glad you enjoyed Tick Tock so much.
Best ever
TERRY

How do you deal with writer’s block?

In truth it wouldn't solve the problem, just make you not care about it
.
If I've written myself into a corner - usually because I've veered away from my original detailed synopsis while writing - I will go alone to a pub where I am not known, and work it out. Over a pint I'll usually find a way out.(less)
