Featured Interview With D E Fox
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Deborah Fox lives in Yorkshire with her partner Paul. She currently works for a large electrical distributor, as well as being a budding author.
Like many children, Deborah spent her time inspired by stories from AA
Milne to JM Barrie, and to this day her favourite story was and still is,
Winnie the Pooh! Her writing talents didn’t materialise until later in life
as most of her childhood was spent dancing and performing.
Deborah’s passions are the outdoors, gardening, interior design, dogs
and cinema. She has always been intrigued with all things supernatural
and the time presented to her during COVID, and the inspiration from
the sad passing of her dog Jake, was the start of her first novel ‘Second
Hand Rose.’
With the support of family and friends and Blossom Spring agreeing to
publish her story, it has fulfilled the dream to become a published
author and has given the encouragement to write more stories.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I have always loved books especially adventure books, like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Kidnapped, Treasure Island. I used to read them over and over much to my mum’s despair. I didn’t start writing until my 40’s when my dog sadly passed away I needed to fill my time. Writing helped with my grief and anxiety and I found I really enjoyed it. So much so that I now have two published books and I’m already thinking about number three!
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I read lots of different genres, my mum taught me that at an early age. So I love Jane Green, Anne Rice, AA Milne, JM Barrie, I love to read autobiographies People’s lives fascinate me. But since becoming an author I read other indie authors books which have definitely opened my eyes to amazing authors with very different styles. I think that has helped me with my writing to give the characters more depth.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
A mysterious event has gripped the world!
How, why, who and what — is taking the grass?
Globe leaders are baffled; unbeknownst to them there’s a secret agency who
solve weird, bizarre events and it’s run by dogs!
Jake and Sammy are everyday pets until a strange encounter changes their lives forever; this puzzling case will test their bosses, Gino and Phillip, to the limits.
Can they pull together and save humanity before it’s too late? Will Jake ever get that packet of crisps he so desperately craves for? And will the age-old question be answered—are four legs better than two?
In this crime mystery where dogs rule, anything can go wrong and probably will. But we all love an underdog!
