Chris Higgins Interview

1. What inspired you to write your books?

 All my books come from my imagination with a few subconscious memories thrown in.

2. Have you always wanted to be an author, or something else?

I wanted to be a cowboy, a writer, an actor or an artist in that
order when I was 6. My teacher told me I couldn't be a cowboy because
I was a girl so I decided to be a writer instead.

3. If you could use a time machine for one day what would you use it for?

To move forward 50 years when I won't be around anymore to see what
my children and grandchildren are up to.

4. A lot of readers of this blog aspire to become a writer what could you tell them? Any Tips?

Read, read, read, write, write, write. The two go together.

5. When you're not writing, what do you do?

Am outside in the fresh air on beautiful Cornish beaches and
clifftops. I'm a beach bum by heart.

6. Who's your role model or inspiration?

My mum. She loved books and was a great mum.

7. If you could meet a character from a book who would it be?

Lady Macbeth. I know "Macbeth" is a play not a book but she's such
an interesting and much-maligned character.

8. What was your favourite childhood story?

Anything by Enid Blyton. Such adventures! even though they were far
removed from my own experience.

9. Have you eve had writers block?

No- I can't afford the luxury of writer's block. I don't have time
to sit here doing nothing.

10. What would be your ideal holiday?

Snorkelling on the Ningaloo Reef, W. Australia. I've done it and
it's perfect.

Quick-fire.
