TM: Errr, prepared to be disappointed … I made up my mind at the outset that the story would be set in a fictional town so I wouldn't be restricted in terms of locations and timings. That was a critical aspect to make the storyline work over one weekend. And to provide a twist on the genre I wanted to evoke a northern mill town. But when writing scenes I kept images of real locations in my head to help with descriptions and detail. I live near Chester, so I used that for some of the geography, the river chase in particular. I also used Northwich locations for the more industrial backdrops. The 'northern mill' location was based on a visit to Quarry Bank Mill museum, near Stockport. And 'Forley Forest' is based on Delamere Forest which is around the corner from me – I'd run out of budget by then.

'''I had to remind myself to breathe during the action scenes. Was it fun to write them?'''
Another 'in-betweener' project was a screenplay I wrote about a soldier returning home from Afghanistan after a battlefield trauma. It's at the onset of the global credit crunch and he finds himself drawn into a different, but no less deadly war in his old neighbourhood. I'm thinking of adapting it as a book.
And of course, if enough signatures are collected on a petition to Downing Street, I will write a sequel to 'WiW'.
