Gemma’s Whitecliff was just such a book, with a simple boy meets girl base. However, you’re taken into Gemma's world; you’ll be at the side when her mum dies, feel for her when she’s out of her depth and sometimes laugh at her naivety as she struggles to grow up. Can you put it down? I think not.

Then the Catwalk Supermodel, a true story, but almost certainly the most difficult one to write. As a fiction writer I could manipulate my characters, this time I couldn't. Often finding truth is stranger than fiction and creating a memorable story.

Ragged Cover is my newest writing. The first book 'The DreamStalkers' being part of a set of four, where magic and the modern child go hand in hand. Check it out, you might be pleasantly surprised, and want to read it!

About Me

Hi! My name's Keith Hoare, I'm currently a member of Pendle Writers in Lancashire England. Besides being a writers group we work hard to help other writers. Our site pendlewriters.com has over four thousand articles about writing and is very well used by writers all over the world.

It was Seven years ago that I wrote my first novel (Michelle Must Die) for fun. It's said everybody has a book in them and that was my book.

The problem was I enjoyed writing it, I lived the characters at times even became them so I was hooked.

Mind you I’ve always believed if you know what’s going to happen when you write it, so would your reader sense it. With that philosophy I don't plan like other writers I just write.

The result of that approach is when I start writing I don’t know what is going to happen and neither will you. I believe it's what makes my books interesting and not put down-able.
You, like me, will live with the characters as their lives unfold. The story for that moment in time will become part of your life.
Moreover, I promise, never will you ever know just what’s around the next corner, until the very last page. To me that’s the essence of a good adventure story .
