What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write this book?
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of your book, what would they be?
‘Crazy Train’ by Ozzy Osbourne. Not only is it Fee’s ringtone, but it’s also mine.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I love reading thrillers and creepy books — and writing them too.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Quite a few. Notably, The Spy and the Traitor by Ben Macintyre, Never Flinch by Stephen King, and Going Home in the Dark by Dean Koontz.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
The Barcelona chapter. Liverpool hosted Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final second leg — The Reds needed to win 4–0. That night, I was among the lucky few who had a ticket. Writing it brought back so many memories. Anfield was rocking.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
An iced latte, cheese and onion crisps, and chocolate. Plenty of chocolate.
Do you have a motto, quote or philosophy you live by?
As a Liverpudlian, it has to be ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Friendship — look out for one another.
