"Forget all you know about disabled people. This novel will blow everything you knew out of the window.
A story of strength, intelligence, love and disability".
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.
"Cady, with spark, snark and enthusiasm will capture your heart in such a way you will want her to be
your best friend. She is a voice, hero and visibility for a young disabled generation, a guide for us all and
a mystery to solve".

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.

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!
ReplyDeleteYou'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!
ReplyDeleteThanks 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
