226								<h6>Answer:</h6>
227								<p>
227I was a soldier (an MP) on duty in Berlin. Nights in the Olympic Stadium, the home of the Royal Military Police in
228Berlin, were long ones. This was 1967, long before the Wall came down. I was reading my favourite literature:
229macabre stuff of course. Some of it was good, some bad, and some bloody awful! I thought maybe I could do better.
230I was keen on Lovecraft, in fact I had been collecting his books for several years. He'd been published (posthumously)
231by August Derleth at Arkham House, Wisconsin, USA. And A. W. Derleth was the publisher and editor of some of the
232collections I had been reading. Usually very good stuff.
233So I wrote some short stories "after" Lovecraft, and I sent them to Derleth. This was a good idea but badly executed!
234First, I didn't know a thing about publishing, an editor's basic requirements, the proper approach, etc. And I certainly
235didn't know that Derleth was the dean of macabre publishers!
236I don't know what he must have thought of those first manuscripts ... single-spaced on weird-sized military paper,
237badly typed, stapled in the top left corner and unnumbered, rolled up and posted to him surface mail (from Berlin, in
238a tube?) Later, I discovered they'd taken all of five weeks to get to him. But can't you just see him at his desk, having
239to nail these damn things down in order to read them?
240Anyway, he bought them, published them, and Arkham went on to publish two books of my short stories and a short
241novel, all in hardbound editions. I owe a lot to August Derleth. But then, so do a lot of people. His publishing house
242was a who's who of all the old and the best weird writers.
243God knows where I got the nerve...</p>

260								<h6>Answer:</h6>
261								<p>This is a dumb question but one that every writer in the world gets asked all the time. How does a professional artist
262visualize a scene from a writer's mind? What inspired the builder to place his first brick – and how did the architect
263develop the design in the first place? Who explained to the moorhen chick, before it emerged from its egg, that its
264first effort would be to jump in the water and swim? I'm a writer! Ideas are what it is all about. I HAVE to have ideas,
265and so they come. But where from? Out of my head, I suppose ... and some might say I am! </p>

283								<h6>Answer:</h6>
284								<p>
285I force myself. I don't believe in writer's block. I DO believe in mental idleness. But to admit to writer's block 
285is like saying you can't think. But we have to
286think even to ... to think! So I force myself. I just keep writing, and if it works – good! And if it doesn't, I change it around until it DOES work. Sometimes it's
287very HARD work. But to sit still and simply stare at a blank piece of paper or empty screen is totally soul-destroying, not to mention utterly defeatist... </p>

304								<p>Please check out the bibliography sections. Most of these books are now out of print … but are available through Amazon Kindle. If you live in the UK you
305can buy a Kindle from amazon.co.uk and buy the books from amazon.com. I have a Kindle myself so I would recommend Amazon. </p>

392								<p>No. I once tried to sell a story to Derleth by someone called Hagna S. Grey. (Or some such.) He said, "God, no! That sounds like Theda Barra! There's
393nothing wrong with Brian Lumley!" So I took his advice.</p>

410That's a hard one. There was Lovecraft, of course, but I think every weird writer I ever read probably had something of a hand in my development. Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert E. Howard, Abraham Merritt, Jack Vance, H. Rider Haggard ... Lord, I mean lots of people. High adventure always attracted me.</p>

425								<h6>Answer:</h6>
426								<p>My father died just a few years before I left the Army. He had had a good run: he was eighty-four. But when he was lying there in his box I thought of all the
427years – twenty of them – that I'd been away from home, and all the conversations we had never had. I mean, my father was only a miner, but still you would be hard pushed to find a more intelligent man – and even harder to find a better gentleman. I would have liked to tell him I loved him, I suppose. So I went across to his local pub and bought two pints, one for him and one for me. I helped him drink his, too, and I imagined I was talking to him. I got to tell him some of the stuff I should have told him a long time before. That was the germ of Necroscope. And as for the rest of it, it just growed. </p>

443								<p>There are two. Necroscope® and Deadspawn. I think it's because they're so different. In the first, Harry is so vulnerable, so humble. And in the last he's a
444monster. But he's still hanging in there, and so he's OUR monster...
445I also like the Vampire World Trilogy a lot. I think these three books are probably my best written work to date. </p>

528								<h6>Answer:</h6>
529								<p>No. It was supposed to be a one-of ... but I found the finished book so satisfactory that I had to do Wamphyri. And then I personally wanted to know
530where the Wamphyri came from – hence The Source. Deadspeak and Deadspawn were quite deliberately written in response to pressure: my readers
531wanted more. And since Sunside/Starside already "existed,” The Vampire World Trilogy followed in natural procession/progression. The thing just
532growed!</p>

618								<h6>Answer:</h6>
619								<p>As far as novels go, I doubt it. I've moved on. The Mythos has more or less stagnated now. There's still a genuine love of Lovecraft, but it's
620increasingly difficult to find anything new to say. Hero was a heroic fantasy (obviously), but Swords & Sorcery isn't what it used to be. Same goes for
621the Primal Land stories. Tarra Khash is a personal favourite – but I really wouldn't know where to take him now. I know Fantasy is big, but personally
622I can't be bothered with orcs and elves and such.
623Sorry.</p>
