balance of power around the world.

of Jack Reacher, you’ll love Tom Wilder. Meet him today – “a great new hero on

the block” as one prominent book reviewer has labelled him.

Local radio station interview with the Author

Q. – Listeners sometimes ask what starts people writing?

A. – In my case, some forty years ago, when I was briefly between jobs, I had time on my hands. I read quite a lot and became fascinated by the intricate plotting of the likes of a John Grisham thriller and I thought I’d try my hand at it.

Q. – And how did that go?

A. – Though I later went on to collaborate with a professional screenplay writer to turn my book into a thriller for television, the book itself might have gone better if I hadn’t got a new job at exactly the same time as I got an Agent – and I don’t think she was best pleased when I gave my new job higher priority than my writing.

Q. – So you didn’t pursue writing as a career then, what about now?

A. – I’ve been very lucky in life; I was badgered by one of my twenty-something year old grandchildren a little while back to write my autobiography. As I was born before World War II, I’d seen the huge changes the war itself brought, then post-war rationing, the difficulties of the fifties, the excitement of the sixties and so on. As I said, I’ve been so lucky in life that I titled the book ‘Lucky, Lucky Me’. But at seventy-nine years of age now, I’m a bit late for yet another career and I write for the pleasures of it.

Q. – And what are those pleasures?

A. – The challenge and fun of plotting a thriller, especially if one wants it to be pacy, to include lots of action, to provide readers with a few hours of enjoyable escape during the daily commute to or from work or while lazing on holiday. It’s fun to be able to throw in unusual characters, maybe also assassinations, kidnapping and so on.

Q, – Although “Whatever it Takes” is fiction, are your books based on reality?

A. – Very much so. Although one of the next great technological leaps forward will be in quantum computers, it’s still in its infancy as I write. I’ve just speeded up its development. In time, I’m sure it will have some of the extraordinary and frightening powers that I’ve given Gemini. Though I wouldn’t dare claim to be some kind of H.G.Wells – foretelling the future – I’m sure something like Gemini will come along.

Q. – Why did you decide to publish on Amazon and other eBook channels?

A. – I believe that even the immensely successful J.K.Rowling had her first Harry Potter book turned down by something like a dozen publishing houses. I’m too old to afford the time going the traditional publishing route. Although one still has to write the very best book one can, publishing it through the likes of Amazon and Apple, Kobo, Barnes & Noble and is so easy, if one has a story to tell they get it out to readers where it night not via the traditional route.
