About Me

A retired ex Local Government Officer with a horse mad wife, a sadistic cat who acts as my alarm clock at the time he wants me to get up, and a daughter who must be wonderful because she thinks her dad is. I live in a small village in North Wales and became an author almost by accident when a friend liked a day’s diary I sent her in answer to a ‘How was your day”? query. Needless to say the day was a fiction from start to finish.

I was lucky enough to meet another author who became both friend and editor for me, I can’t say THANK YOU often enough. Ilil Arbel is an exceptional person and I hope to have the pleasure of making her the firstt author I interview on this site.

I have come to enjoy writing and using characters I meet as part of the stories. Not only does Lady J nag less when she’s reading my books but I have the thrill of hearing someone laugh out loud and knowing I caused it.

  1. I am inquiring on how you prefer an author request an interview from you. My name is Marie Crist and I would love to answer you questions about my vigilante novel Citizen Out. I will wait patiently to hear from you and hope in the meantime you check out my website at http://www.mariecrist.com where I have the book information and trailer. Thank you so much for all your time and hard work.

  2. I would also like to be interviewed by you. My name is Joe Rinaldo, and I have an ebook, A SPY AT HOME, available on Amazon that is a heart-wrenching story about a retired CIA agent who comes home to find a resentful wife and a disabled son who is slowly falling victim to Alzheimer’s disease. Hope to hear from you soon. My direct email is rinald47@gmail.com. Thanks.

  4. Thank you so much for the interview. I feel really honoured to share this site with so many other wonderful authors,including yourself!!!

    Many Blessings, Niamh Clune

    • One of the nicest treats I get when doing interviews is finding out just how nice some people are and you’re certainly no exception Niamh. I also love to see how grounded most of us are even though some authors are quite successful. I hope I could maintain that niceness if I sold a lot of books.
      Many thanks for doing the interview and I hope it makes a positive difference.

  5. I enjoyed looking at many of your interviews, and would love to be interviewed, too. I currently have five books published in print and ebook format, and am working on a sixth, which should be ready to publish in November.

  6. Good Morning Lord Prosser,

    First, I sned my sincere well wishes for your lovely wife and that her medical care has improved making her recovery more expeditious and less painful.

    I must have read one of your posts on another site; OSCAR jogged my memory and I recall reading one of HIS posts – and laughing all they way through, and then some.

    I learned of you through PubWrite and Ilil Arbel. I learned of PubWrite through Stuart Land, a brillieant Author, Screen Writer and Sculptor.

    I am more active on Amazon.com/”Shameless Self-Promotion For Authors/Discussion forum. I have been trafitionally published (“DAVID JANSSEN-MY FUGITIVE”, which I co-Authored with the late iconic American Actor, David Janssen) and in January, 2009 I introduced the “Mike Walsh Detective Novels” series with my debut novel “THE EXECUTION OF JUSTICE”, based on the true story of the murder of a close friend and one time mentor of mine, a Detectiver Sergeant in the Robbery-Homicide Div. of the Indianapolis Police Department.
    Now I will check out your “BARTSHIRE DIARIES” and check in on OSCAR’S blog.
    Best wishes,
    Michael Phelps

    Are we still doing author’s interviews….? If so, I’m an author….with a big ego….who likes to talk about herself….

  8. Good Evening Lord Prosser,
    I would love to do an on-line interview with you. I have quite a following in the United Kingdom. Actually, I should say”DAVID JANSSEN-MY FUGITIVE” which I co-authored witjh Ellie Janssen (Dave’s first wife).

    I am currently working on a follow-up book, working title; “DAVID JANSSEN-PRIVATE-Our Conversations”.

    Please contact me and provide your questions. I trust your wife has greatly improved. My best regards to OSCAR.

    Sincerely,

    Michael Phelps

  18. ‘. . . a sadistic cat who acts as my alarm clock at the time he wants me to get up’ – This one of the reasons, I prefer dogs :) .

    • Probably one of the reasons I do too.But, we’ve had him for 18 years now so I can’t turf him out. Anyway, I can have my revenge since he’s scared of the rats and the degus so I can put them in balls and let them patrol all night.Of course the sound of the balls might keep me awake then………
