Cary Grant |
Hello and welcome to my blog, Cary.
Congratulations on the publication
of your debut novel!
First of all, please use five words to describe your book for us.
Christmas, exciting, heart warming, sadness.
Why should we read your book?
Because it’s an exciting story throughout
the whole book and will make you feel lucky for what you have and maybe it will
make you appreciate those around you
now.
Also I think people should read this and just to see
what it was like growing up in London in the 70s & 80s being a mixed race child.
Do you draw on personal
experiences when you are creating your characters and plot lines?
Yes definitely.
What was your
favourite book when you were a child/teen?
I used to read the famous five
by ENID BLYTON when I was a child of 11. I loved escaping when reading them.
Me too!
What's the best advice anyone has ever given you?
What's the best advice anyone has ever given you?
Try your hardest
that’s all you can do, once you know
you’ve tried your hardest it doesn’t matter
what anyone else says. (My father.)
What movie and/or book are you looking forward to this year?
I’m looking
forward to seeing the new James Bond film which I haven’t got round to yet, and reading a book called a girl with no past by Kathryn Craft.
In your wildest dreams, which author would you love to co-author a book with?
Stephen King.
What next?
I need to carry on working on my
second book as Christmas on Fire is part one of two.
Could you give us a little summary
of your next book?
The next book is part two of
Christmas on fire.
I will take you through the next journey of Charmaine’s life.
Thank you for taking the
time to answer my questions about your book here today.
Christmas in 1980s London is the most exciting time for 12 year old
Charmaine. The mixed race daughter of an Irish mom and Black dad,
Charmaine knows it was rough for her parents when they arrived in
London.
Now, they live a charmed life in a flat over her uncle’s blues club. Charmaine knows her parents love her madly, even though they’re always busy making money at the club.
This year, however, Christmas will be better than ever! Charmaine has a very special gift for her parents – a real present paid for with her own money! But how can she ever imagine her greatest joy will turn into her worst tragedy?
