Dirk Sawyer’s Book 2 “Ghosts and Eagles - The past is unpredictable”
Dirk has been honing his craft since 2002 when he penned his first novel. Although traditional publishers showed interest, he made a bold decision to retain control of his work. Now, after two decades of shelving the manuscript due to other commitments and rediscovering it in his attic, he has unearthed it, ready to captivate the world.
Drawing inspiration from beloved childhood authors like Rosemary Sutcliffe and Henry Treece, Dirk weaves together historical elements and a deep passion for the past, bringing them to life in a classical style.
As an English Language and English Literature teacher for 42 years, he noticed a preference among his students for stories with a timeless appeal, which further inspired his desire to write in this genre. With a background in teaching archeology, his writing transmits a genuine understanding of history’s allure.
What sets Dirk apart is his unique approach to character development. Rather than solely relying on his imagination, he draws from the wealth of characters that real life has to offer. The result is a tapestry of individuals who resonate with authenticity, capturing reader’s minds and hearts.
Surprisingly, Dirk admits that he rarely planning his writing process. Instead, he lets his fingers dance across the keyboard. This unconventional method, has yielded breathtaking result. With a disciplined writing routine, treating it as a job and writing every day, he effortlessly avoids dreaded writer’s block that plagues many authors.
Reflecting on his growth as a writer, he acknowledges the evolution of his style and technique. With each book, he becomes a better-self editor, fine-tuning his words as he writes. Drawing inspiration from accomplished authors like Harry Sidebottom, Simon Scarrow, and Ben Kane, he continues to push the boundaries of his craft, inspiring others to embark on their own literary journeys.
