If someone annoys me, I can name a character after them and give them a grisly end. (That said, a lot of my characters meet grisly ends, and most aren't named after people I dislike. It's usually my favourites who die.)

I usually take my dog for a walk as that is where my initial inspiration came from. If I still can’t shift it, I just relax for a few days, read some books myself or watch some Netflix and then the ideas tend to start flowing again.

I eagerly hold out my plate and my mum smiles at me as she puts a pancake on it. My mobile rings and a terrified version of my mum’s face swims into focus on the video; I try to hide my fear as the stranger flipping my pancake turns, smiling, ready to add another pancake to my plate.

I was on a very muddy dog walk, being pelted by the rain when the idea came to me. I wanted a troubled protagonist, thrown into a brutal world through no fault of his own. Struggling to be good while everything possible pushes him to go dark. Alongside the injustices he faces, is the constant thread of how others are being treated in comparison. The Hybrid is the first in the series, but, if you manage to get to the end, you may have an idea of the direction it is going.
