Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born in North London and am a reluctantly self-confessed millennial. For several years, I had a proper job teaching in primary schools around London, but I now travel worldwide, funding my adventures by teaching in various locations around the globe. I am also a passionate ultra-marathon runner and trains obsessively. I have written several novels and am starting to self-publish them on Amazon.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called Lightly Falling Snow. This novel is about an unsolved occult killing which takes a step closer to being solved after the detectives in charge of the case discover a best-selling novel based on the crime.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to write first thing in the morning before anyone else gets up. As soon as I am done writing, I go for a run.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I was influenced to write by Donna Tartt, Jonathan Franzen and Graeme Macrae Burnett. Specific books that influence me include Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson and The Sellout by Paul Beatty.
What are you working on now?
Currently, I am working on another crime thriller set in a New England guesthouse. After a guest is discovered murdered by the shores of the lake, the detectives question everyone who was staying at the house that night. Unable to formally charge them or let them go, all the guests are kept in one room, where paranoia and suspicion run rife.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
