Tamsin Keily studied psychology before completing a post-graduate degree in primary education. She now lives in Berkshire with her husband and cats, where she juggles writing with her job as a primary school teacher. Daisy Cooper\u2019s Rules for Living<\/em><\/a> (2020) was her first novel.<\/p>\n

Tamsin’s new novel, The Surprising Days of Isla Pembroke<\/em><\/a>, was published by Orion in September and is available on the Suffolk Community Libraries catalogue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”19px” text_line_height=”1.3em” link_font_size=”19px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″] <\/p>\n

Who were your heroes as you were growing up and when did you first start writing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was a bit of a geek growing up, and still am one today, if I\u2019m honest! I was massively into Doctor Who and the character of Rose Tyler, the Doctor\u2019s companion played by Billie Piper, was a huge inspiration and hero for me. I think the fact that she was this totally ordinary girl whose life was completely transformed always really stuck with me. She was also unafraid to speak her mind (something I\u2019ve always wished to be able to do more of!) and was one of the first female characters I encountered on television with a real depth to them.<\/p>\n

Obviously there was also lots of amazing book characters who really stuck with me as well; Holly Short from Artemis Fowl<\/em><\/a>, Violet Baudelaire from A Series of Unfortunate Events<\/em><\/a>, Roald Dahl\u2019s Matilda<\/em><\/a>. As for when I started writing, I can\u2019t really remember a time when I haven\u2019t written, so it must have been very young! I have always had notebooks on my person and I remember being about thirteen years old and feeling very sure that I would be the youngest published author, with that wonderful confidence you have as a child!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How do you balance teaching and writing? Were you never tempted to write a children’s book?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a juggling act for sure, and especially now I have a thirteen-month old daughter to juggle as well! I think I luckily possess quite a lot of self-discipline, which I think I\u2019ve always had, possibly thanks to my mother whose mantra was always do the maximum, not the minimum. Obviously that drove me mad as a child, but it\u2019s clearly stuck! I think I have quite clear defined lines between the different jobs, so when I\u2019m at school I put all my time there into getting the job done to my best ability (as much as you can in teaching!) and then when I\u2019m at home and not with my daughter (when she\u2019s napping, for example), I use that time exclusively for writing. It works because I enjoy writing, so it doesn\u2019t necessarily feel like a job, but also I\u2019m always very conscious of how lucky I am to have this opportunity to be a published author; there are so many people desperate to be in my position so I very much feel like I mustn\u2019t waste it!<\/p>\n

I would love to write and publish a children\u2019s book one day, it\u2019s certainly an area I\u2019m interested in. Children have so much natural belief in the impossible and the magical, and I have such a love for magical and impossible elements in stories, so it would be great fun to write for them one day!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is your writing routine? Do you have a favourite place to write? What is the view from your window?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It used to be a rather luxurious affair, with candles, tea, snacks, and inspiring music. These days, with time a bit more limited, I\u2019m happy if I get a slightly lukewarm cup of tea to drink while I\u2019m writing! I do always have music on though, usually instrumental or one of my favourite musicals. Recently I\u2019ve been enjoying Studio Ghibli instrumental playlists, they\u2019re so beautiful and calming!<\/p>\n

My favourite place to write is at my desk, which I treated myself to after finishing my second book, The Surprising Days of Isla Pembroke<\/em>. It\u2019s a gorgeous wooden folding desk and it\u2019s tucked into one corner of our conservatory so I can look out on the garden while I write. It all sounds very idyllic but there\u2019s usually piles of toys and washing I have to ignore at the same time!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your debut book was Daisy Coopers Rules for Living<\/strong><\/em><\/a> which was funny and moving at the same time. Where did the idea for Daisy and her ‘situation’ come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daisy\u2019s situation which, for those who may not have read her story, involves her dying at the wrong time and ending up working as Death\u2019s assistant, came from a few different places I think. I\u2019d always loved the idea of personifying Death, having read things like The Book Thief<\/em><\/a> by Markus Zusak, so knew I wanted to do something with him as a character. The idea of having to be present at countless people\u2019s final moments, and what that would do to a person, was something I found really fascinating. Daisy herself very much marched into my head one day, told me she\u2019d died at the wrong time and that it was up to me to sort it out.<\/p>\n

Like many authors, I don\u2019t often have much control over my characters! It was very much an out-of-the-blue type idea, but probably came from my own experiences with grief too. I lost my mother to breast cancer when I was eleven so, obviously, death was a very immediate and real concept in my life. It also was a very scary one, as I\u2019m sure it is for many people, so I think the book was also about helping me (and hopefully others) feel less afraid of it, even if just a little.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can you give Suffolk readers a flavour of The Surprising Days of Isla Pembroke<\/strong><\/em><\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Surprising Days of Isla Pembroke<\/em> tells the story of Isla, who is feeling thoroughly stuck in her life. She\u2019s twenty eight but is still living at home, in a tiny Cornish fishing village, after her mother\u2019s sudden death nine years ago shattered her family apart. Her father has never really recovered from the grief so Isla has been forced to put her marine biologist dreams on hold to help support him and her family. Meanwhile, her younger sister Morgan has been gone from the home, ever since she ran away aged seventeen.<\/p>\n

The story begins when Morgan suddenly returns home and, at around the same time, Isla discovers a doorway into the past inside the mysterious stone that stands on her local beach. Isla soon realises that this stone has the potential to change her past and, possibly, her present and future. But of course with time travel it\u2019s never that simple! The book obviously deals with the magic of time travel but I think it\u2019s main themes and messages are about family, loss and how to find joy in the most surprising of moments.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is there anything you can share with us about your latest project?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not a huge amount, unfortunately! I can tell you there is a latest project, I can tell you that it is very early days in its conception but that I\u2019m very excited about it as it\u2019s something entirely different. But that\u2019s it for the moment, just watch this space I guess!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One book or author that everyone should read?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gosh, so hard to choose. I always like to tell people to try more new and debut authors, because it is tough for them at the moment, and there is such talent out there! It does often require a little more effort to find them but it is worth it!<\/p>\n

But in particular, I can\u2019t stop raving about The Ten Thousand Doors of January<\/em><\/a> by Alix E. Harrow. It is just so amazing and full of such magic and heart. Nothing like anything else I\u2019ve read, for sure. Also Uprooted<\/em> by Naomi Novik is brilliant, and has some of the most wonderfully developed characters I\u2019ve come across in a long time. Both of those books also have beautifully imaginative and creative worlds in them, which is something I always love about a story.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The best or funniest bit of feedback from one of your readers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m always so touched when people say how a particular passage has really stayed with them; I remember a photo on Instagram where someone had all these little bookmarks for parts of Daisy Cooper\u2019s Rules for Living<\/em> that they\u2019d found really poignant. I will never get used to that, or seeing strangers quote parts of the book! Someone else said how they had really needed this book at that particular moment, and that was also really touching. In terms of funniest, I will always remember my Dad, after saying how much how enjoyed it, commenting on whether Death, being hundreds of years old, should be dressed in modern clothes. His alternative suggestion was Death in full Tudor clothes, ruff included. The mental image of that always makes me chuckle!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can you tell us one thing about yourself that your readers may not know?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m an avid fan of musicals, my most recent obsession being Hamilton. I\u2019m embarrassingly proud of my ability to know a lot of the songs off by heart, and was delighted when my husband performed an extract of ‘My Shot’ at our wedding![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
