Featured Interview With RM Howe
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
My birth place was the English Lake District. Very beautiful – full of mountains and lakes. Also very touristy because of this but I still love it. I live within the area but lived in London for twenty five years. The fast pace of life was a contrast which is wonderful with all the variety of theatres, clubs, museums, art galleries. Best of both worlds.
I have always had pets even in London. Dogs and cats. I have currently got a Border Collie Rosie.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I was an avid reader as soon as I could read. My mother and aunt wrote books for a living so I read all theirs. This is where my passion started. I am in a family of authors.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
CM Beaton – Agatha Raisin series. Comedy, murder mystery with fabulous characters that really stand out. After this, any Jeffrey Archer book. For pure escapism Ian Fleming’s James Bond.
It’s definitely the CM Beaton books who inspires me because my style is similar though in its infancy.
My general genre is adventure murder mystery but I can divert to most detective novels, especially historic ones like Cadfael by Edith Pargeter and the Railway Detective series by Edward Marston. However, a slight departure is Jonas Jonasson with The Hundred – Year – Old Man Who Stepped Out of The Window and Disappeared. The comedy is side splitting and the adventure unique,
Tell us a little about your latest book?
I love foreign backgrounds combined with intrigue, mystery, mayhem and murder and my book contains all of this plus smuggling, art theft and comedy. Strong opposing characters in the two heroines provide tension, amusement and suspense when the reader can wonder how the serious matters are dealt with in their totally different ways. Success is guaranteed along with large measures of happiness. A feel good book. More of this on – rmhowebooks.com
