A&Q
Paul Skelton
What made you want to become a
writer?
Initially to help Jason with OMP. Then I decided
to develop my writing, and maybe it could
be an earner for me when I'm retired.
Have you written any other books
that are not published?
I've just finished 'Little Christmas Tree 2', and
a bunch of horror / thriller short stories.
Might donate one to the next OMP book.
What is your writing style? Pen,
type-writer, or computer, etc.?
Bricklayer. I construct my stories from all sorts
of what I call building blocks, like building a
wall. Then I bash it out on a computer.
Do you write alone or in public?
With or without music?
"My wife is usually nearby, at home. I listen to
very loud Rock music . . . always."
Does your story have a lesson? a
moral?
No. It's written to entertain and amuse the
reader. However, it's nearly Christmas, so it
may affect your attitude to your Christmas
tree this year. Ha Ha!
What is your favourite part of the
story?
The part where Mickey the Magpie moans
about having to build his own nest; he's
such a geezer!
If you could spend time with one
character from your story, who
would it be, and what would you
do with them?
I'd go flying about with Mickey the Magpie,
and 'plop' on people I don't like.
