Hi from Rosie Clarke!
I am a prolific author and I write quite a
few books; I do publish other books under different names but I don’t want a
conflict of interest so I don’t mix them, though all the details are on my
website for those who are curious.
I usually decide on a theme for a series of
books first and then decide on the characters I want. Once I start to bring them to life the book
begins to have a life and a purpose all its own. My people will have their own voices and it
is not always my opinions that they speak – in fact I often play Devil’s
advocate and champion something I do not personally agree with to challenge my
character’s strength of purpose and beliefs.
It’s fun, because I hold their fates in my hand and if I really hate
them I can find something awful to put them in their place. In real life I’m not vindictive at all – no,
honestly, that’s true – but between the pages of a book I never hesitate to
slay those I think need it. I could
write some spine chillers if I wanted to but for the moment I like my sagas and
the characters’ suffering is more subtle than a serial murder cutting up his
victims. J
My husband laughs when I watch murder and
mayhem on TV. He’s not too keen and
prefers family stories set in the last war, though we both loved Peaky Blinders
and Spartacus – the big series. Also,
the Borgias! That series ended too
soon! I love to read about struggle and
I’m currently reading a series of Viking books, though the hero has a heart –
which doesn’t often happen with Vikings.
My own stories rely on emotions and the
feelings of normal people in abnormal times and situations. They suffer because of war but also because
others hurt them and let them down, which is real life. Half of the pain and grief felt by us all is
caused by the unkindness and ill-use of those we thought loved us. That is why I never have a shortage of
ideas. I only have to listen to the news
or read a newspaper and I have a scenario in my head. Most books start with one emotional scene
that comes to me. It may not appear in
the book until halfway through or even the end – and it might even get cut –
but it is what starts the ideas running and so a book is written. If it is part of a series then one thing
leads to another. Hardly any stories end
between the pages of one book, even if the author leaves it there. No one just goes on to be happy ever after
without some ups and downs – even the luckiest of us will have either grief or
sickness strike at some point. That is
why there is a never ending supply of stories set during the first and second
world wars. They were such terrible
times and so many suffered and died – and some went on paying the price for
years.
What we all want is a lovely happy ending
when we read a book and mostly we get at least a semi-happy finish. That is great but it always leave me thinking,
what if …
Thank you for reading this and I hope you
