His 18th novel, <em>Dark Reading Matter<\/em>, will be published in the UK\/USA in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Fforde&#8217;s writing is an eclectic mix of genres, which might be described as a joyful blend of Comedy-SF-thriller-Crime-Satire. He freely admits that he is fascinated not just by books themselves, but by the way we read and what we read, and his reinvigoration of tired genres have won him many enthusiastic supporters across the world.<\/p>\n<p>Jasper is appearing at this year&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/events\/author-talk-with-genre-bending-novelist-jasper-fforde\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Southwold Literary Festival<\/a> on 8 November to talk about his upcoming novel, <em>Dark Reading Matter<\/em>.

Were you surrounded by books as a child or did you visit a library?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My English teachers when I was five were Mrs Read and Mrs Wright &#8211; yes, really. Mrs Read was lovely &#8211; all soft and pink and wrinkled and kindly and smelled of lavender, while Mrs Wright was tall and cadaverous and it was rumoured she was fired from her last school for eating a child. Once Mrs Read had taught me to read, I suddenly realised that with this awesome power I could read a book of my own choosing &#8211; so went and found <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=3786209\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Alice in Wonderland<\/em><\/a> on my parents shelves and read that from cover to cover .. twice. I still have the same book on my shelf.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your journey to publication and how did you cope with the constant rejections in your early days?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s useful to not regard people unwilling to publish your Magnum Opus as \u2018rejection\u2019. Early writers (me included) tend to have a mildly overinflated sense of our own talent so it\u2019s a little bit of a shocker that other people may not view our baby with quite the same sense of lovelorn dreaminess. I think it\u2019s probably fair to say that a rejection might actually mean your book is \u2018currently not of sufficient quality to merit publication\u2019 and that\u2019s a good base to work from. Make it better, make it brilliant, keep on writing. Most authors are published on their sixth book (I was) and it takes time to hone those skills..<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your writing routine?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s pretty much a losing battle against distractions. Once I\u2019ve cleared the decks of emails and other daily minutiae then it\u2019s a lot easier, and if you have to manage your life to limit distractions, then that helps too. It\u2019s tempting to be waylaid by things that need your attention &#8211; eBay is not going to buy itself, after all &#8211; so resistance to distraction is key. Wait, is that a squirrel in the garden?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you tell us a little about your latest book <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=3444934\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>Red Side Story<\/strong><\/em><\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Red Side Story<\/em> is set in a post-apocalyptic world where society is run on an aggressive set of rules within a strict hierarchy based around visual colour.

Do you have the story arc for the final book in the trilogy mapped out in your mind now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I write all of my books \u2018on the fly\u2019. When I am writing a series I sometimes have a vague idea where things are going, but not much. Because of this I have developed my \u2018no plan plan\u2019 where I plan for having no plan by dropping in small and intriguing details that I can build upon in later books. How I do that and in what context is really most of the fun. The final instalment to my <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=2072305\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Last Dragonslayer<\/em><\/a>\u00a0series was concluded by reading the three books and then work something that fitted. It\u2019s a bit like doing a jigsaw first, then choosing the picture on the box.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;d be fascinated to hear about your influences. You create worlds quite unlike anyone else. How do you decide what works and what doesn\u2019t?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always been interested in \u2018stuff\u2019, the nebulous trappings of our often eclectic life experiences. Since I have no feedback until a year after I\u2019ve finished the book, I have to figure out what works and what doesn\u2019t on my own &#8211; if an idea amuses me, I generally leave it in, but so long as it makes sense within the logical narrative of the book. yet necessary<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>You are appearing at the <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/events\/author-talk-with-genre-bending-novelist-jasper-fforde\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Southwold Literary Festival<\/strong><\/a> on Saturday 8 November.
