I make no secret of the fact that I love Tethers (and Jack a little bit too) so I’m chuffed to bits that Jack is back on the blog to talk a bit more about what makes him tick.
If you don’t already know, what star sign do you think your main character is?
I do know actually! Karl is a Libra (just like me), although I don’t really know anything about star signs so I have no idea if Libra suits him.
If you could be friends in real life with any of your characters, who would it be and why?
Hmm, tough one. Maybe Harland because I would love to learn to fight with a sword and he could teach me. Also, he’s got an awesome boat.
Have you ever written a character that you’ve disliked so much you’ve scrapped them from a work?
I don’t think so, no.
Which of your characters would frighten you if you met them in real life?
Laurent Dufor is a pretty scary guy but there’s a character in the second Tethers book that terrifies me so much more …
Describe your book in one word.
Treacherous.
Describe yourself in 5 words.
Curious, persistent and always hungry.
Do you ever consult friends when you’re stuck with a plot?
No, never. I usually wait for a solution to present itself and this usually happens just as I’m trying to get to sleep – I often text it to myself so I don’t forget by the morning!
What’s your personal kryptonite?
Probably the internet. I’ve made a strict no internet rule for when I write (unless I need to Google something) and that’s helped a lot!
If you could converse, a la Dr Dolittle, with one type of animal which would it be and why?
That’s easy, definitely my chocolate Labrador, Archie. He’s always looking at me like he wants to say something, I’d love to know what it is!
Tea or coffee?
Hot chocolate.
