Steve Wilson


I have been writing stories since the start of the millennium, and am currently a member of a local writing group in Lancashire, England.

I enjoy writing anything from short stories through to full-length novels, and although I prefer the 'twist-in-the-tail' crime type of story, I have also written some fantasy novels and some sport-based factual books. Two of my novels have been published by Carina (part of the Harlequin group) and I have self-published around a dozen other novels and novellas.

Credentials


Steve Wilson in 60 seconds

When did you start writing?

2000 Preston

What do you love about short stories?

You can quickly produce a piece with a beginning, middle and end. It brings a different level of satisfaction to writing a longer work.

Do you write in other forms?

Novels, novellas, some poetry

What distracts you from writing?

Family takes precedence

Outside of writing, what are your other passions?

Football, sport, city break travel

What is your favourite book?

Lord of the Rings

Who are your favourite writers?

Isaac Asimov, Terry Brooks and Terry Goodkind

Where is your dream location?

Anywhere

What one item would you put into Room 101?

Politicians

Do you have any advice for new writers?

Write because you enjoy telling stories rather than for commercial reasons. If you love what you do, that will come through in your writing and that will make your work saleable.

Inglorious Sunset and Other Stories
A collection of a dozen stories with a romantic theme - although all is not always as it might first seem. The subject matter covers wedding anniversary surprises, prom night, an anticipated proposal, double-crossing and backstabbing, love overcoming time and mortality, mistaken identity, someone who is not as sweet as appears at first glance and a harsh payback for an innocent misdemeanour of youth.
