Tell me about your story
in Aftermath - but don't give any spoilers!
My story in Aftermath is called First Person; a short tale about a
man called Adam, ironically seemingly the last person. There is a brief and
somewhat bleak explanation of how he got to this point, connected to the global
pandemic and a sudden (and hopefully hopeful) twist at the end.
What inspired you to write
this?
I don't really know, it
just came to me as an idea, like many of the things I write. I typed all pretty
much in one sitting.
How have you coped with
the pandemic?
An event so historic as the
Coronavirus pandemic needs to be recorded, reflected on and chronicled.
Aftermath is one (excellent) way to do this.
How have you coped with
the pandemic?
Looked after my
grandchildren, gardened and home built, recorded audiobooks, wrote, read,
listened, studied and prayed.
Can you tell us about your
other publications?
I have had four books
published (2000, 2005, 2010, 2014), audioread 7 novels (the first published via
you), completed a doctoral thesis on Play and written hundreds of newspaper
columns and some poems.
A continuing response by writers to the Covid19 pandemic in 2020 and
during the ongoing aftershocks in 2021, this collection is of work by
writers we have published before and whom we trust, and their trusted
colleagues. When disasters strike writers respond and react in words.
They share with us their hopes and fears. They describe and rationalise.
