The paris & M6 Crashes‘, due for release on April 2nd:

Q -How did you get involved in writing this book?

CH – Well, certainly writing is not my full time occupation. I am more of a security consultant amongst other things. So I’m interested in anything out of the ordinary. In fact, it was while I was undertaking completely unconnected research that I became intrigued by reports of an alleged incident on the M6.

Q – How do you progress from reading the reports to writing a book though?

CH – I think I just got drawn in and the more I read the more I became interested (some would say obsessed) with the subject and felt I had to write an account of everything that appears to have happened.

Q – This is your debut release, what challenges did you face when writing the book?

CH – I think the biggest challenge was filtering all the material I had at my disposal and creating a book that would make sense of my thinking processes.

Q – Would you do it again?

CH – Of course! But let’s not move too fast. In this book I’m asking for others to add their opinions and conclusions. Let’s see where that takes us!
