You are most welcome, Kevin. The excerpts were fabulous! They made me want to start at the beginning and reread all of your books. :-)

Oh, wow! Thank you, Kimber! : )
Now they'll need to widen all of the doorways in my house to allow my great big head to get through! : (

You're welcome! It is well-deserved praise.
You're a card, Kevin! 😂

Richard I think if someone tried to get his picture taken with Dickens, the author might shock his would-be fan by going into Uriah Heep mode. What larks!

Yes, Dickens would very likely 'umble him! ; )
Thank you for reading my interview, Richard.

Thank you for reading my interview, Richard."


It was a pleasure to read. Your modesty, self-awareness and sense of humour do you credit.

Thank you, Richard. That was a very kind thing to say - especially as you are an author with the exact same qualities.

Dollie Great interview, Kevin. I enjoyed reading it. I hope you would let me join you and Charlie at the pub. I promise not to pull his beard. He will always be one of my fave authors (A Tale of Two Cities is one of the best stories ever written. Just sayin'). I've also got your own Kinnara on tap to start this week! I love the cover and am so impressed that you are also the cover artist for your books. Hope that you are enjoying some time off. Enjoy!

Well, if you promise to behave yourself, Dollie, then you can definitely Join Charles and me down at the pub! : )

That is especially kind of you, my friend. Thank you! : )

Takes his voice down to a whisper... it might not be too late to get your money back...


message 12: by Mark (new)

Mark  Porton What a brilliant interview Kevin - hey it's high time I read one of your books, I will make a point of it soon!!!! Some funny stuff there mate - I'm glad you're a fellow snorter BUT now I know you are Uber Check Norris - I may have to show a little more deference to you. It sounds like you've had some great experiences living in so many places.

I tip my hat to you my friend. I'm actually quite jealous (in a good way) of you being a writer - yes sitting down clacking at a keyboard may not sound too glamourous to you but to me it sounds like the dogs bollox. Particularly as I have been clacking at keyboards for over 30 years but it's all about applied, work stuff, not creating things like you have. All credit to you my friend and I'm looking forward to catching up on some of your work :))


message 13: by Dollie (new)

Dollie I do my best to behave myself at all times, Kevin. You are too funny. I don't want my money back at all. I liked The Minotaur's Son a lot and am really looking forward to starting Kinarra. I've been meaning to for a while. Time has a habit of getting away from me. Thanks so much for the chuckles. Your responses are always a delight.

And thank you for taking the time to read my author interview! : )

Fran Sir Kevin...if doorway widening is required, it must be for the beautiful mount you gallantly ride! Swelled head?...not you! Cheeky, of course! I enjoyed your interview immensely! I would love to spend time chewing the fat with Charles Dickens. Dolly Parton would be a favorite tea buddy as well. Quite the combo, eh? Keep handcuffing humor and tragedy to the same radiator! 🤣

Oh, now we're talking!
Imagine having a night out with Charles Dickens and Dolly Parton! I can see Dolly dragging Charles into a Karaoke bar and persuading him to sing 'Islands in the Stream' with her! : )

Thank you, Fantastic Fran!


message 18: by Marialyce (new)

Marialyce Wonderful interview, dear Kevin! Your sparkling personality and wit shone through! My dinner partners would be you, John Boyle, and Emily Bronte. I am so relieved you will never write a chick lit book. Phew I am not at all a fan of those fall in love at first sight appellations! Write on!!!

Thank you, Marvelous Marialyce!
If the stars are aligned when you next visit London, you might get your wish to have me as a dinner partner. Our better halves will just have to put up with us babbling away! : D


message 20: by Nilanjana (new)

Nilanjana Haldar I just loved reading this interview of yours, Kevin, and I laughed SO HARD reading so many parts in it, notably-->

1) "I’d rather they simply read my books than have me jabbering away like a chimpanzee" (I burst laughing reading that!)

2) "It baffles me why some readers slam an author because an animal’s been killed in one of their books, or an old lady has been murdered. The author doesn’t actually go around killing animals and old ladies in their spare time! This is fiction, people! : )"

----> (I couldn't agree more on this one!)

3) "by the name of Sebastian whose ego is the size of a planet "

.....I recall Sebastian had raised a lie about Liam accusing him for having jumped over Henry's bed! I laughed at that memory!

Thanks for making my day, Kevin!

I am beaming wide now!
