When did you first start writing?
I began writing while I was in the Royal Marines. During countless military exercises (in between any real wars of the late 70's) the nights were long and boring. I used to jot things down in my notebook - a real notebook since this was long before any electronic machines small enough to carry.
What's the story behind your latest book?
This is something that's been hovering in my mind for years. What if a man were cursed to live forever? Not so bad on it's own, but what if he could never eat, or sleep? Again not so bad if one is eternal. So just to stir the pot a little, what if eternity was to be spent in ceaseless, unspeakable agony? Yet there is an escape from this awful existence. The curse can simply be given away; but only to some he truly loves and in turn loves him with equal intensity. It's my longest book at over six hundred pages.
