Oh that sounds perfect. I have a Kindle, loaded with books, (I discovered this computer programme that...) but i much prefer the printed word. There's nothing that compares to the smell of a new book.
Who are your influences James? What is your approach to writing? Do you think of scenes for example then work them into a story or a story first?
I found Stephen King's On Writing and Danse Macabre fascinating reading. I don't really have a fave horror scribe, but buy all King's horror fiction and also love James Herbert, Ramsay Campbell and Richard Laymon as well as older work like Matheson and M R James.
