I often feel ashamed and inadequate when great writers talk about their worship of books. I’ll be frank – I don’t much care for libraries or bookish type environments. What I love is the story as an abstract concept in itself. I’d have loved to have been a cave-woman, getting myself settled down at the log fire to listen to a storyteller. I didn’t have too many books in the house as a kid. We had TV and more importantly – radio. Nothing could tear me away from a radio play, serial or short story. So, I was made for the e-book and the audio book world. So what is everything on this earth about? It’s the story, stupid. The economy is merely a chapter.

The audio version of my novel “Power” is out now. The narrator is the talented and lovely Rebecca McKernan. She’s a joy and fun to work with. Nothing I can write here can improve on her own account of herself.
