Cady Grey is invisible. One of the 'perks' of being in a wheelchair. Sometimes it's better that way, 'specially when you're a sweary, spitty teenage girl who's main aim is getting through high-school in one piece. 

But then a sinister shell company wants to knock their school down and is prepared to stop at nothing. She and her friends are the only ones invested enough to care and smart enough to investigate. 

Regardless of the danger, Cady finally gives up being invisible to fight. And she discovers that getting in the way of politicians and their schemes might just get her killed.

 What are your top 10 favorite books/authors?
Neil Gaiman, Iain M Banks, Ursula K LeGuin, Roald Dahl, William Gibson
Ben Aaronovich (Rivers of London Books), FD Lee (The Fairy’s Tale), Kristene Perron (Warpworld Series), Shakespeare, Dickens

What book do you think everyone should read?
The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K LeGuin

How long have you been writing?
Since college a loooong time ago, but I suspect what you’re really asking is novels so I’m going to say 10 years.

Do the characters all come to you at the same time or do some of them come to you as you write?
Some of them definitely come as I write. There are places where a story needs a person and then that person has to tell me who they are and what drives them.

What kind of research do you do before you begin writing a book?
A lot for my first thriller! How local councils work, how much noise a gun with a silencer really makes. Various symptoms of various conditions.

Do you see writing as a career?
Yep, but I’m still an apprentice.

What do you think about the current publishing market?
An exciting bear pit.

Do you read yourself and if so what is your favorite genre?
Science fiction or anything that’s weird.

Do you prefer to write in silence or with noise? Why?
Noise often. It cancels out everything else and informs me when I’ve become distracted.

Do you write one book at a time or do you have several going at a time?
I can only just fit in enough time to write one book at a time in my crazy life! Have the ideas for another twenty, but the challenge is always enough time to get it written down.

If you could have been the author of any book ever written, which book would you choose?
Happy to have written the ones I have.

Pen or type writer or computer?

Pen and pad for planning, then computer for writing.

  1. I'm a "pen and paper" myself for the first few drafts, because it's just a way of getting the ideas out there - throwing up on paper, if you will. My drafts are always messy, but then I go back and clean it up in a nice doc file. Thanks for the interview!

  2. You're very welcome. There's something quite formative about pen and paper for planning. Almost like the pen works like a wand to conjure stuff up? But when I've got a head full of ideas that need getting out there, I can now type faster than I can write, so that helps! I love a good messy draft :). It's a bit like those 'scratch recordings' you hear of artists submitting to record companies that always tend to have something you spend the rest of the edit trying to replicate!
    Thanks for having me, I can rattle on about writing all day,

    All the best for the festive to you and all your readers,

    Paul L Arvidson
