Meet Mr. Graham McQuade, With a couple of novels under my belt and a third on the way, I still struggle to see myself as an author. Because my world is dominated by work and family, writing still feels like a bit of a bolt on activity. Although around 80% of my downtime is occupied by thoughts of whatever I’m writing. I’m not complaining, I obviously love my family and believe it or not, love my job too! Time is something that I have never really had enough of, in my world, time is the most valuable commodity. But I’m not alone, as an independent author you have to be the master when it comes to finding time to write. And those times are rarely ideal, late at night, early mornings and the odd slot over a weekend. There is a plus side to this, I am never sat in front of the computer wondering what to write… my head is usually bursting with ideas and I have stacks of notes that I have taken down when an idea has jumped out on me. Join me March 2, 2021 at 12 Noon having plenty to discuss, and his new book 'New Gods' with your host Pamela L Henderson...
