Hi, Luke. Who would you say is your inspiration as a writer? I know you reference Sai Stephen King sometimes, but would you say his work is what you aspire to, or are there a few other muses for you, too?
Luke Smitherd
Hi Claire, sorry for such a long delay in replying. I do very much love The Man's work, and I wish I had his prose. I also admire Roald Dahl, Neil Gaiman, and recently 'Bird Box' author Josh Malerman.

Luke Smitherd:
I wonder if you could describe your writing habit and how you manage to produce so much in such a seemingly short space of time. Are you a nine-to-five sit at the desk typing furiously guy, or a back of the napkin notes in a cafe sort of person? How do you avoid finding a million 'more important' things to do besides writing when you are self-employed and without a publishing deadline?
