\"Jeremy<\/p>\n

– \u00a0– \u00a0–<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the most important. What\u2019s your most recent\/next book, and where can we go to learn more about it and you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Cover<\/a>The Advent Calendar<\/a>.\u00a0 [My Facebook] page<\/a> has a lot of information, newspaper cuttings and some interview articles, also a YouTube copy of a BBC interview.<\/p>\n

Do you know how all of your characters look and sound?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes exactly, I virtually visualised the entire thing as a sort of movie, picturing the amazing landscapes and sets in fine detail, likewise the characters and their characteristics. I did exactly the same whilst reading Tolkien and found it a frustration watching the films.<\/p>\n

Can you read other things when you\u2019re working on a book, or do you have to stick with writing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Absolutely,a change is as good as a rest, I sometimes find taking a break from writing and reading altogether allows you to reflect and perhaps pick up new ideas. I find myself trying to write either in the right location or in the right mood\/environment (nearer Christmas helps with my Christmas books)<\/p>\n

What are you most nostalgic for from your childhood?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christmas 100%, it was such a special time at home, I had four siblings and the Christmas period at home was simply magical, I also lived in a close knit village and the school at Christmas was wonderfully festive, a marvelous childhood was gifted to me and I will be eternally grateful to mum and dad, my Christmas books attempts to share this good will and festive feel.<\/p>\n

What is one question you\u2019ve always wanted to be asked in an interview?<\/strong><\/p>\n

So how pleased are you with the film adaptation of your novel?<\/p>\n

– \u00a0– \u00a0–<\/p>\n

Alright, there you have it. Christmas will be here before you know it, so go check out\u00a0The Advent Calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Are you a fan of Christmas stories? Do you still read to or with your kids? Leave me a comment below with your thoughts.<\/p>\n

I hope you all have a great day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
