Over at the Smashwords Books Reviewed blog, host, hardworking author, and top notch gent Neil Crabtree posted an interview he did with me. He's a busy guy, but somehow finds the time to help out his fellow writers. If you care to take a peek, you can do so HERE
Now, I need to begrudgingly pry myself away from watching Valley Girl, where The Plimsouls are making the most of their Rickenbackers doing A Million Miles Away, and get cracking on finishing my story for Do Some Damage

Mark Staniforth's 'Fryupdale"
"Porn stars and serial killers, Nazis and nymphomaniacs, hunchbacks and bare-knuckle boxers: just a few of the disparate cast of characters who call the remote moorland community of Fryupdale their home"
This is what caught my attention, when I read Mark Staniforth's interview regarding his collection of short stories in "Fryupdale"
Need more convincing:
It's a collection of tough, gritty, down-to-earth tales from a semi-fictional North Yorkshire village. There's all sorts of folk from the fringes of society: porn stars, aliens, drunks, Nazis: you name it, they're probably in it. It's loosely based on the kind of place I grew up in, so I like to think I've got a good idea about what makes the characters tick. I won't lie - if you're a fan of chick-lit or wizards this stuff might not be for you. You could say it's an antidote to Harry Potter and all the best-seller, TV book-club froth. Hopefully that will count for something in itself.
Now, it's no secret that I love the U.K. crime writing style and after just a few sentences of the first story in "Fryupdale", I was "all in".
DID I MENTION THE PRICE OF "Fryupdale" IS FREE!!!, so you have nothing to lose by giving it a shot.
