Writers’ Forum Magazine Feels The Fear
January 9th, 2009
Emily Cunningham, a wonderful freelance journalist, interviewed me last 
year for Writers’ Forum, the monthly mag that aims to inform us scribblers ‘How to Write, What to Write and Where to Sell It’. The piece has just made its appearance in the February issue, on sale in Borders, Smiths and Waterstones. The interview includes my early influences, a few writing tips and my views on the writer’s responsibility to his characters and the relationship between reading horror and real-life violence. There’s also a sweet little picture of yours truly aged about eight with my sister and my dear old Grandad.
Also included in the issue are the winners of the mag’s short story competition. Check out winner David Edwards’ wonderfully evocative Western Caleb’s Hog.
(Thanks to Liz de Jager for the heads up!)

wOOt! Fame at last!
It was such a good interview, upbeat but serious and thoughtful at the same time – I would have loved for it to be a bit longer though, but I suppose, unlike websites and blogs, you can’t always just gab on and on, as much as you would have liked.
Still, an interesting read and I’m pleased that I spotted it!
