This is a lovely children’s book about friends and family. The fish game grows up with two ghosts as friends. When he becomes king, they become his trusted advisers and flatmates to his children, especially young Prince Eric. Their friendship is strong and close as Eric grows. They ghost are funny, the Royals relatable and their adventures, bind them into an odd type of family. There is some rhyme which kids will love! The illustrations are quite childlike, which will add to the appeal. A great read as a bedtime story, or just for fun!

My interview with Waking Writer 
CLICK THE LINK ABOVE TO READ FULL THE FULL INTERVIEW 

​
Why did you choose to write in your particular field or genre?I like the work of Roald Dahl. He wrote for both adults and children and I decided to do the same.
What are some day jobs you have held?For the most part, I have been a teacher. I have taught History of Art, English literature, History, as well as a few less interesting subjects in universities and business schools. I have worked with children, doing after school activities.  I once worked in a theater as an usher, and I was the worlds worst barman for a time.
Do you have a special time to write, or how is your day structured to accommodate your writing?I like to review what I written in the morning when I am feeling fresh, having had a long break from writing. You see things that perhaps you hadn’t seen before.
How do you think you’ve evolved creatively?I went to art school and had designs to be an artist. I have done different things, including writing and performing music. I have tried my hand at many different things. I also write poetry, which I think is a great way to express ideas.
Do you work with an outline or plot sketch, or do you prefer to let a general idea guide your writing?I like things to evolve. I am often thinking about how a story will end. I might be walking my dog or traveling. A story lives in my head. Sometimes I might write things down, not to forget ideas.
Did you make any marketing mistakes that you would avoid in the future?I spent a lot of money to have a book I was promoting included in a book magazine/trade book. I was hoping it would mean my book might be ordered by libraries. I got one sale from this.

Please welcome Francis H Powell to my blog. Hello Frank. Shall we have sit and have a chat?   
Please introduce yourself to those reading this blog post.
Hello, I am Francis, I was born in the UK, but I’ve lived in France for quite a long time. I am a writer, but also a painter and musician. I love to create things. I live with my wife, son, and rescue dog, called Bertie.
Has writing always been part of your life and when did you “know” that it was time to start writing your first book?
Writing for me took off when I was living in Paris and saw an advert for short stories, in a magazine. It was a little homemade magazine called Rat Mort (dead rat, for anyone who doesn’t speak much French). Having some stories actually published, was a real lift. I went on from there.
How difficult was it writing your first book?
Writing is a pleasure, promoting and selling books is another matter.

My first children's book will be published in April

​My current project is to publish and anthology for Marie Curie Nurses. The book is called Together Behind Four Walls
With the sudden arrival of Covid 19 and the introduction of a lockdown, many people might have wondered how they would spend their time.
Writers, poets and artists decided to express their feelings in words and pictures during this turbulent period. From humour to deep thoughts Together Behind Four Walls captures the many facets of the human spirit during the pandemic.
Proceeds from the book will go to Marie Curie nurses who continued their great work during this crisis.
The book includes some well known contributors including:
Wendy Cope: among other accolades, the author of five collections of adult poetry, a judge of the 2007 Man  Booker Prize, and was voted the listeners’ choice in a BBC Radio 4 poll to succeed Ted Hughes as Poet Laureate in 1998.
Roger Robinson: a  celebrated writer, musician, and performer, who has won the T.S. Eliot Prize and the Ondaatje Prize.
Peter Finch: an author, historian, poet, and former Chief Executive of First Academi, the Welsh National Literature Promotion Agency and Society of Writers.
John Hegley: a  performance poet, comedian musician and songwriter, who was the presenter of the Border Television series “Word of Mouth”, and has appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
Arthur Smith: an alternative comedian, presenter and writer, who famously turned down a lifetime achievement award in 2005 from the Perrier Award organisers, and won the Panel Prize at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2007.
Neal Zetter: a comedy performance poet, children’s author, and entertainer. He has nearly 30 years of experience performing in locations such as West End comedy clubs and the Royal Festival Hall. He uses the writing and/or performing of poetry to develop literacy, self-expression, confidence, creativity and presentation skills.
Sally Kindberg: a renowned author, illustrator, and comic strip maker, famed for children’s illustrations. Sally kindly donated two original drawings to this campaign.
The book also includes other contributors from round the world.

Flight of Destiny a book of 22 short stories by Francis H Powell. 

Amazon
Picture
Three authors, three books!
David Burke of Writers in Paris, Literary Lives in the City of Light
Francis H. Powell of Flight of Destiny, dark stories to disturb
Randall Price, private chef and author of Chroniques Caustiques, his adventures in French kitchens
This was part reading, part panel discussion, part Q&A event


I was given the opportunity to read four short stories out of Flight of Destiny by Francis Powell. Each unique tale explores a dark recess of the mind where emotions are manipulated and reality isn't quite what it seems. 

I love the dark tone of the short stories and how the underlying theme of each is this sense of shock over what humans would be capable of if there were no reality based limits. While the stories do not tie together, the tone of the work connects them all and makes it easy to flow from one story to the next. 

I enjoyed these tales as they gave me a fantastic break from my daily routine and I enjoyed remembering them and day dreaming about them afterwards. They're a little Ray Bradbury, a little Stephen King, but with Powell's own unique twists. Very interesting read.
