I have self-published 7 thrillers so far as well as a children's book and a short poetry anthology.

RACE AMAZON: False Dawn is the first in my James Pace thriller series. It was included in a collaboration box-set (HOTBOX) with 7 other indie authors in 2015, which became an international best seller.

I have always wanted to write, having been inspired by the great authors of the past like Tolkien, Lewis, Adams, Wells, Defoe and contemporary writers like Cussler, Higgins and Bagley.

I often write in small time windows but I do write more productively in lengthier spells, which is what I am increasingly doing. This helps me stay on track with multiple narrative threads and cuts down on a great deal of re-reading time prior to editing.

Fear evaporated, resolve inexplicably stiffened and she turned the unseen handle firmly, shoving the door open as hard as she could with a shrill cry; knife held high.(less)

In a way, having to wait for my writing time allows me to be prepared so I don't suffer that often from writer's block, as I am always excited to get back to my writing. On the odd occasion when my creative juices dry up, I reschedule another writing window and go and spend time with my kids, or go for a walk with the dog. This tends to clear my head and works for me at the moment.(less)

Andy Lucas's Blog: My thoughts

Not enough time!

There is never enough time to be a writer....I have known this for a long time. Unless fortunate enough to be able to write for a living (as we all hope to do i.e. one day being discovered), the reality of having to work and live tends to leave little 'spare' time for writing. Add in a busy family and my writing time dwindles to barely a couple of hours a week.

I am sure every writer wrestles with Read more of this blog post »
