Interview with Dom Ossiah, author of Leonard Bliss and the Accountant of the Apocalypse
Can you tell us about your new book? The devil absconds from the Hereafter, placing the destiny of mankind in jeopardy, and so Heaven dispatches a celestial field operative to track down the devil and return him to the Afterlife. This would be a straightforward task for any immortal except Alfred Warr – a What genre is it? What kind of readers will it appeal to? Complete this sentence for us: if you like _________________, you’ll love Leonard Bliss and the Accountant of the Apocalypse. Well, if you like Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, you’ll love my book. How was that? That’s definitely great company to be in. Here’s another question for you; how would you like the reader to feel as they read the last word of your book? Have you written any other books that we should read next? Tell us a bit about yourself. Anyway, I grew up, drifted away from creative writing (nothing to do with Ms Harmon’s comments – at least I hope not), fell into technical authoring, and then, some time after that, fell down a flight of stairs. Now, the bad news was that I was house bound for I filled the house with short stories and some rather suspect poetry, then enrolled on an MA Creative Writing programme. And it was the most rewarding year I’ve spent in education; a year spent honing the skills and thickening the skin (Up until that point, I thought Ms Harmon was a tough audience.) So a few years out, and I’m still slotting words together to see which ones fit. I think that might be the engineer in me. Where can we keep up with you online? Do you have a website? What’s next?
