The Vanbrugh (80455), London Reservations

Writer bio

Star sign: Capricorn
Inspirations: You'll be pleased to read they are both authors - George Orwell and Ian Fleming - though quite different. Their influences may become more pronounced as my writing career takes off.
Favourite books: Goodnight Mr Tom, Hound of the Baskerville's - I like comebacks.
Favourite film: From Russia With Love, Green Mile and The Dark Knight.
Favourite car: I've driven/owned - VW Golf. But money prevailing, an Aston Martin DB9.
Favourite food: Sri Lankan Chicken, with fluffy Nan bread.
Favourite places: Visited - Monaco, Barcelona.
Favourite things: Books, films, football and comedy.
Biggest challenges: From above, long term, attempting to combine three of my four favourite things if possible. With the internet, getting read isn't as difficult as it used to be, however, getting paid for these ‘talents’ has still eluded me, so far.
Thing I've learned: We haven't got all day, and frankly I wouldn't want to bore. Here's a tip I taught myself recently; the introduction of smaller characters or mini-plots in a book should be closed off -like a circle. Work it out!

I’m Gary Engel, 29, in search of that elusive and exciting career in writing. It feels as though I’ve been working at this for a lifetime already, but always with a view to success.

In theory, journalism was meant to be the next logical step for me, but circumstances haven’t always been accommodating. However, there’s a great potential to inspire, educate and entertain a new generation on the back of the revolution in publishing, and that’s what I’d love to do.

In my writer’s voice I’ve (apparently) a degree of wit, and if there’s a way to shoehorn a dry gag into a conversation or situation. I usually manage it.
