Author's Interview with David Howell.

First, before we move forward with our Authors Interview, I would like to start with an introduction.

1. What is your name and Could you please introduce yourself to us?

Hi, I'm David, I live in s small village in Cambridgeshire in the UK with my wife, Louise, and young son, I'm new to writing and not lucky enough to make it my day job, I have always worked in warehousing, driving a forklift, but who knows, one day I may be able to make my writing a full-time job.

2. Congratulations on your book. So what inspired you to write this book?

Writing came about by accident, I'm a daydreamer. Life is my inspiration, and aspects of my life experiences are in the book, for example, Louise and I suffered 3 miscarriages before we had Jayden, ( he's on the front cover), I wanted to get the feelings we felt in the story. We all have a life story. in us, to which we could adapt to a meaningful fictional story if we so wished to do so.

3. What is the book all about?

The book is about a young mum in an abusive relationship, she escapes the abuse to start a new life with her young son, Tommy. Fate plays a cruel trick on her when she wakes up 5 years in her past, two years before Tommy is born. The dilemma, does she relive the abusive relationship so Tommy can be born, or stay with John the man she always regretted leaving.

4. Why did you choose this genre for your book?

I love the thought of time travel, I wanted to get across that every decision we make in life shapes your and others' life.,you don't notice how fate shapes your life as it just becomes your reality and the reality of people around you. You would only notice it if you could go back in time and every minor change could reshape your and others' reality beyond recognition. I think about 80% of my readers are female. I never really had a genre in mind it just worked out that way.

5. How much time did it take to complete this book?

Three years altogether, that's from the minute I put pen to paper, so to speak, right up to when I published with amazon.

6. What makes your Book Special?

I've been told by readers that they found it a unique read, uplifting, and thought-provoking. To hear that has made the writing process worthwhile and emotionally rewarding to me.

7. When is your second book coming?

There wasn't going to be one, but I have had so many readers ask if there was going to be another. I've started writing the sequel, Echoes through time. The more great comments I get the faster I write lol.

8. While writing did you get any writer's block? What is the Tip that you will give others who are facing writer's block?

Yes, quite a few times, the best way I found to get over it is to write further on in the story as ideas pop into my head then fit all the pieces together at the end like a jigsaw puzzle, there's no rule you have to write it from start to finish, in fact I wrote the ending first.

9. Apart from being a talented author, what are your other hobbies?

Well, I'll let my readers decide if I'm a talented author or not. I don’t have much time for hobbies, I love playing pool, and watching Formula 1, Lewis Hamilton and George Russell are my favorite drivers.

10. Last but not the least, How did you feel, while giving this interview?

I feel great, and I hope more readers get pleasure from my book and interview.
