What brings your writing into focus-- the characters, the stories, the love of words? The characters, who drive the stories, and today's news. I see some crazy stuff happening and I think "What if...?"
How do you find time to write and do a demanding job? I wait till the early hours, stick the headphones on... and we're off!
What inspired your latest book? My latest book was inspired by the small English village I grew up in, the locals, and the woods around it.
What movie star would be perfect for (your main character) and why? We've actually cast all my main characters for a graphic novel and film adaptation of the first book in the series. Riz is played by Zulfikar Ali Malik, and Holly is played by Anu Patel.
Is there a different genre or type of book you’d love to try to write? I'm just about to branch out and write a Young Adult novella. It ain't easy, but it's an interesting challenge!
MURDER MOST RURAL: Meet Riz and Bang-Bang. MOD troubleshooters by trade, their work normally involves covert ops and counterterrorism. A routine exercise with the SAS takes them to a sleepy Essex village, where not only do they stick out somewhat as a British Pakistani couple, but there has also been a mysterious suicide.
Or have they stumbled across the perfect murder?
Praise for MURDER MOST RURAL:
"A cracking yarn written with tongue firmly in cheek!"
