Author's Interview By Denny Darke

Image
1. Could you please introduce yourself to us?  Sure. Pink Sombrero is my debut book. Close friends, family, and colleagues describe me as a funny British guy (I haven’t been able to shake my Prince Harry accent) living on beautiful Vancouver Island, Canada, whose quick-witted, satirical, whack-a-mole humour has been perfected working as a child protection social worker, crisis counsellor and police officer. I have a couple of university degrees (Birmingham, UK and Victoria, Canada).  I gained my writing inspiration from my four crazy-assed daughters, my love of spicy (Indian) food, Marmite, Brighton & Hove Albion football team, and sunbathing. I blame my sense of humour on my father, a very serious and decorated RAF war aviator, who introduced me to Frank Richards, Joseph Heller, Monty Python, and Peter Sellers.  I’m happily married to my long-suffering wife, who has yet to disown me.  2. Congratulations on your book. So what inspired you to write this book? I have worked as a poli
