Do you have any tips for writers about the writing process or the path to publishing?<\/em><\/strong> Write for the pure pleasure of writing. If you write only to get published then sometimes you lose the joy that writing brings.<\/p>\n What are the greatest obstacles you’ve experienced on your writing journey? <\/em><\/strong> Time is my greatest obstacle. I sometimes feel I don\u2019t have enough time to finish the writing projects I have started.<\/p>\n What do you love most about writing books? <\/em><\/strong> I really enjoy visiting schools and inspiring children to write. I also love meeting readers who love my books. On top of that, I have a great time creating new worlds that I love to explore myself.<\/p>\n What advice would you have for anyone wanting to write a book in your genre? <\/em><\/strong> Watch every movie and television series in that genre you can get your hands on. When I say this, I assume that you are a reasonable writer so you know how to write well enough to construct a story. When you watch stories unfold on the screen (good stories I mean, not Z class movies) then you can see visually what you may like to incorporate into your own descriptions and action.<\/p>\n Other than writing, what else do you love? <\/em><\/strong> Making flutes and playing them. I also love cooking, gardening and just sitting and thinking\/daydreaming.<\/p>\n What were you in a past work life (if anything) before you became a writer?<\/em><\/strong> I had 13 different jobs and travelled a lot around Australia before I became a school teacher.<\/p>\n Describe your perfect day. <\/em><\/strong> Cold and rainy outside, a warm fire inside, a container of popcorn, my wife by my side and a good movie.<\/p>\n Follow the blog tour by selecting the link below.
