David says: “[I was] Approaching death at a fast rate of knots, and realising forty years of writing for myself was probably going to waste. A NEED to publish at least one of the books on my computer!

Don't wait until you get to my age! When you are struck with an idea for a book, get on with it. Keep coming back to the idea and keep on adding to it. Have confidence in yourself and what you are writing about, but make sure your facts are correct. Do the research.

Suddenly realising that the first book I wanted to publish was good, and readable.”

Fran was inspired by her “love of folklore, myths and legends…If something inspires you, write; if the well dries up, keep going - it will flow again.”
