I read and re-read a lot of Roald Dahl when I was growing up and then Sue Townsend later. My hero was probably S.E. Hinton; <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=2006860\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Outsiders<\/em><\/a> was the first book I fell properly in love with, we all did back then, I think we must have read it at school. They had made a great Brat Pack film out of it in the 1980s but the book was better. I read it again recently and it\u2019s still brilliant.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you base any of the characters on people you know?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not intentionally, but I named Lil Potkin after my Grandma Lil who was also tenacious, crafty and brave. Abe Mandrel was based on what I imagine the old hardboiled detectives of the 1930s would have been like twenty years on if they carried on drinking and getting obsessed with solving cases.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>When I was reading <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=2520242\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>Potkin and Stubbs<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, I felt it had a visual film like quality to it. Was this a conscious decision?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t a choice, but it is how I see stories. I watch them play out in my head like films, but then not only do I love watching all sorts of films and going to the cinema, but also much of what I have learned about storytelling has come from courses and workshops on writing for the screen. Plus, the inspiration for Potkin and Stubbs came from film noir, so the story had a naturally filmic quality which suits me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Peligan City is full of fascinating characters. Will we be meeting some of them in future books?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes indeed, there are two more books to come and almost all of the characters that appear in book one are reoccurring, the ones that make it to the end at least.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can we ask what you are working on at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m editing the second book and writing the first draft of the third. As I\u2019m promoting the first book now as well, it is a recipe for getting in a muddle, but it also helps to keep the story in my head. I am always worried, though, that I\u2019ll disclose some secret plot twist from book three while I\u2019m talking about book one!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is on your &#8216;to read&#8217; pile at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>More books than I can read in several years \u2013 I have three piles and they never get any smaller, but currently in my &#8216;crime&#8217; pile is <em>Bedelia<\/em>, by Vera Caspary, in the children\u2019s pile I have <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=2487165\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The House with a Clock in its Walls<\/em><\/a>, by John Bellairs and in my \u2018general\u2019 pile I have <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=52769\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Ragtime<\/em><\/a>, by E.L.
