Meet Trevor!
Very happy to introduce you to my brother and new book collaborator!
We grew up together in the Black Mountains of Wales above the ancient village of Cwmdu. It was the perfect environment to spark a wild imagination, provoking ideas of mystical beings, witches, and legendary beasts. My brother is a natural storyteller, making up tales of talking rabbits and adventures for our teddy bears, graduating to full blown horror stories. He loved nothing better than spinning yarns of vampires and monsters and scaring me half to death!
After a variety of jobs Trevor discovered a talent for flying. He worked as a pilot, travelling the world and moving to Florida to establish his own flying school. He lived in the Sunshine State for thirty years with his wife, Chris, raising a family. His three children made their home there, and three grandchildren have expanded the clan.
During this time he also explored his spiritual path, which led him to becoming an Interfaith Minister, and gave him the opportunity to open an orphanage in India which is still operating twenty years later.
After retiring from flying, Trevor retrained to become a Police Officer and later worked as a Private Investigator. He also fulfilled an ambition to live on a sailboat, and it was during this time that we began working together on “The Witch’s Knight”.
After taking the decision to return to the UK, he now lives with Chris a short walk from my house, and is enjoying rediscovering the delights of the English countryside. We are enjoying our collaboration, and looking forward to working on the next book in the series.
How wonderful!! What an interesting life your brother has lived. Between his stories of vampires, and mythical/mystical beings and your imagination of witch’s and time travel I cannot wait to see your collaboration in a new book (series)! Good luck and can’t wait to read it!
We had such fun working together. Can’t wait to share the stories with everyone!
I’m really looking forward to experiencing this collaboration. Two minds working together all these years, and the journey continues!
We make a good team!
Wow: what an adventurous life Trevor has lived – and still more to come! It’s wonderful to hear of close bonds still existing in adult siblings; I’m sure that the love and mutual respect that you share will only enhance your writing. Celebrate every step on this new journey (…and persuade your brother to get a dog so that we get to see more pet pictures!)
He has a fabulous dog, don’t worry! There will be lots of pics to come😁
Do we have a date for this new book?
I can’t give the exact date just yet, but we are talking weeks rather than months😁
I’m delighted to meet you, Trevor, and to read a little about your varied and interesting life. You and Paula should make a wonderful writing team!!!
We think of ourselves as The Scribbling Siblings!
My goodness, Trevor has had quite an adventurous life so far! Looking forward to seeing some of these tales he’s told over the years sprout to life collaborating with his very accomplished author sibling. I’m sure you will be a wicked team indeed!
Thank you! We are looking forward to it too😁
How lovely to meet Trevor, your writing partner for the Witch’s Knight. Sounds like yours is a story-telling family! I can’t wait to read the new series as it’s a favourite genre for me.
Hi Paula! Sounds like a magical place to grow into the wonderful storyteller that you are. By the sounds of it, you and your brother have lots of true-life adventures to tell! He has rewritten his character in his own life and lives life to the fullest. I can’t wait to read what the two of you have created.
Dear Mrs Brackston
(Dear Paula, as I usrd to call you a long time ago!)
You may remember me,Hedi,wo stayed with you and your parents in both Dorset and Wales when you and your brother were children. I was very pleased to come across your and your brother’s photos. Then I remembered a walk in the woods
with your little brother when he kept telling me about werwolves and other spooky creatures hiding in the trees. No wonder he has finally turned into a professional story–teller.
I also would like to tell you that I came across your article in the Guardian where you wrote an article on the occasion of Sally Dawson’s death which moved me a lot since I had met her in London several ti mes and sie had always been a good friend to me.
I congratulate you,Paula to your great success and wish you all the best!
