Andrew Puckett is a writer who feels he should experience for himself the trials imposed on his protagonists.
Examples are: Being locked in a freezer room at -40 degrees, Climbing a 1000 foot cliff from a rocky beach in the dark, Then encountering the Exmoor Beast (involuntary), Escaping from a prison ship (not actually incarcerated!), Falling into the sea from Durdle Dor (not quite), Escaping from a burning caravan etc.

Before that, he grew up on his parents' farms, the first in a remote part of Dorset, the second in the shadow of Salisbury cathedral.

He worked in a brewery, a chemical factory and Porton Germ Warfare Establishment, where he acquired a painful immunity to Plague, Anthrax and Smallpox (which did at least give him the idea for

The first two, Sisters of Mercy and Deliver Them From Evil are narrated in the first person by Sister Josephine Farewell. She realises someone is killing off the patients on her ward, but no one believes her, so she has to accept the help of Tom Jones, an unconventional NHS investigator. (A series about Tom Jones existed before this book was written). The second book, again narrated by Jo, sees them undercover in a dodgy IVF clinic. The third, Death Before Time is in the third person. It is set in a Community Hospital, where a doctor realises patients are dying when they shouldn't, so asks Tom Jones and Jo to investigate this, again undercover. Thanks for your interest, hope this helps!(less)

Like you, I was born in the West Country, but don't know whether that fact affects my writing or not. Most of my books are set in the west of England.
I think that different areas of this country do still seem to "grow" different characters, which is great. It's a hell of a generalisation, but it seems to me the further west (and maybe north!) you go, the more easy going people are. I lived in Oxford for 15 years and didn't find it a friendly place, very parochial and introverted, but that could easily be from the "Town and Gown" attitude that still prevails. One of my books, Bed of Nails is set there! I've always found Bristol to be a friendly city.(less)
