Q1. Hello Will! Can You Tell Us A Bit About Yourself And Your Books?
I’m a semi-retired Brit who opted out of the corporate rat race in 1998, and since then I have lived abroad, travelled, had several businesses, and of course, now I write crime thrillers...’

Ester:  Thanks for taking time to speak with me, Will.  First, what made you decide to become a writer?

'My interviews with many authors' - a blog by Fiona McVee
Picture
Fiona: Do you have a specific writing style?

Will: Sparse! For me personally, too much description of characters’ appearances and their surroundings bogs things down, so I leave much of that to the reader’s imagination.
