Thanks you very much for such a detailed response I really appreciate it. Aha that would be amazing I would 100% read that and would love the morbidity of it. I have just been reading up on your ‘ I hunt killers ‘ series so I can see how you enjoy flipping the cliches on there heads. Anyway again thanks for the pointers, I’m away to get the first in your series on my kindle 😊

I’d like to try writing a book, always wanted to. Not got any expectations of publication or anything would just like to see if I can. 2 questions for you: 1, how do you start the process? Mapping out the whole plot? Building character and world descriptions? 2: Ideally I would write a fantasy novel, I love all the epics from the likes of David gemmel and Raymond Fiest. So my question is what authors have you been inspired by? And how do you abound duplicating all the cliches- ie orphan street urchin is actually only person who can save the world if he gets this one ancient relic and so on? Thanks in advance

Edit : sorry this is defo not just 2 questions
