About the Author
Meet Alan C Bruce – a master storyteller and a man of many hobbies. Not only does he pen down epic tales that make your heart race, but he’s also a huge fan of classic cinema and music. You could say he’s a connoisseur of the finer things in life. But don’t let his love for the arts fool you – this guy knows how to kick back and relax too. When he’s not typing away on his next novel, you’ll find him out on the water, patiently waiting for the fish to bite. And once he’s had his fill of adventure and excitement (or when the fish just aren’t biting), he likes to kick back with a cold pint of Guinness… or a piping hot cup of tea if he’s feeling fancy. Who says you can’t be a man of culture and still enjoy the simple pleasures in life?

Qn 3: Out of all the books in the world, and all the authors, which are your favourite and why?
Anthony Horowitz, “Magpie Murders” Without a doubt is someone I would aspire to. The way he draws you in and leads you down a path, only to surprise you with an ending you had not considered.
Qn 4: What guidance would you offer to someone new, or trying to enhance their writing?
When I meet people, they often tell me they would love to write a novel. The next question is always, what advice do I have?
I tell them that writing is a passion, a calling to build a world and characters within that feel real. The hero can never be truly perfect because no one is, and the villain needs love. Few villains are completely bad. There is always a reason why they have gone down that road.
A reader recently told me they loved the Villain in my book and was upset when punishment came his way. This was a massive compliment to me. I wanted people to like the person. To understand them and perhaps root for them.
