I was privileged to invite Mr. Howse for an interview with BookecCenTric to discuss his latest book and the inspiration behind his creative works. Here is a little excerpt of our interview below.

NigelHowse: I really enjoy experimenting in creative story telling and writing poetry. After I wrote and published my first book titled 'The Hammer Bird’ published 1985, I completed a correspondence course, increasing my confidence and skill to write more. This book culminates from these more direct links between personal experiences and direct observations of my everyday sensory awareness.
