The media spoke of nothing else for day after day, week after week, month after month. QUESTION: Can you tell us a bit about your newest book, Epidemic? What inspired you to write it? How did you come up with the title?ĪNSWER: “Epidemic” was inspired by the Swine Flu that was sweeping the World a few years ago. There “A Killing In The City” is in the lead, with the newcomer “Epidemic” coming up fast. Is any one book outselling the others? Well all books are doing reasonably well on, with “Marinski” being ahead, although “Kammersee” is a close second.

“Kammersee” 2006 “The Mackensie Dossier” 2008 “The Marinski Affair” 2009 “Epidemic” 2011, and “A Killing In The City” in 2012.

All five books were self published between August 2012, and now under my own banner PHOENIX, but they have all been previously published. Although the four books follow on from each other, they are all standalone. Is any single book of yours outselling the others?ĪNSWER: Apart “The Kammersee Affair” the other four books all feature my private detective Tom Kendall. Do you have a favorite, or one that is more meaningful to you? Are your books related, or is each independent of the others? They were published fairly close together-between August, 2012, and March, 2013. QUESTION: You have five self-published novels available online.

This became the basis to my first book “The Kammersee Affair” published in 2006. This lake was used by the German Navy in the Second World War, to test torpedoes and rockets. We stayed in the lake district near to lake Toplitz. As for becoming a novelist, that came about following a holiday in Austria. I was fortunate enough to get to interview many of them and write a piece for the magazine. We would go to sveral of teh clubs in London, the Marquee, Flamingo, The 100 Club, The Scene, Studio 51, and see a lot of the rock stars, and the blues singers – Chuck Berry, John lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Little Walter, and many others. Having said that I used to write articles, back in the early sixties, for a couple of Blues magazines, sadly no longer existing. Although I had always wanted to write a novel I came into very late in life. There’s not really a lot to say about my background as a writer. Can you tell us a bit about your background as a writer?ĪNSWER: Hi Susan, and thak you so much for having me here. QUESTION: Hi, John! Welcome to Susan Finlay Writes blog site. I’d like to introduce you to the fifth interviewee in my ‘Meet the Author’ series.
