Book: Tyranny Reborn
Q1. Hello Sir, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
My name is Daniel Greenwell, I was born in 1987 in Darlington, a large market town in the North East of England which is approximately 225 miles from London.
I am from a large family and, being the step-son of a RAF Officer, we moved around the country but we returned to live in Darlington a number of years ago where I currently work as a Warehouse Operative.
Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘Tyranny Reborn’ book?
One of the main challenges I faced whilst writing Tyranny Reborn was keeping it as realistic and up to date as possible whilst, at the same time, entertaining.
Many Government Departments, procedures and locations featured in the book are based on reality but, as it took me a long time to write, I had to go back and change things because procedures or departments had been altered. I was determined to keep it as realistic as possible.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
I have always been intrigued by the world of spies, conspiracy theories and terror attacks and am an avid fan of James Bond.
I have read a wide range of books by various authors on these subjects.
Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
London is my favourite place to visit in England. Trinity Square, which is a little-known Memorial Park in the Tower Hill district is a particular favourite of mine.
To me, London stands out from other capital cities I have visited around the world. It has a different feel – you can feel the history as it has a fantastic combination of gothic and modern architecture.
I feel at home there – there is so much to do and see and, even though I’ve visited London dozens of times, I still haven’t seen everything it has to offer.
Q5. Is there lots to do before you drive in and start writing a book?
Before I begin writing, I like to conduct as much research as possible to keep my work realistic.
I investigate everything that I believe I will touch upon then I flesh out the plot, bringing it all together. I look into everything to make sure all the dots are connected before I start writing, to determine that it makes sense and I know which direction I am going in.
Q6. How long did it take you to write ‘Tyranny Reborn’ book?
It was in 2005, not long after my first solo trip to London during my final year in college, that I started to write Tyranny Reborn.
Whilst 15 years seems like a long time to take, there were, of course, many times over many months when life got hectic so I didn’t write at all.
The plot over the course of this time has changed and evolved many times!
Q7. On what all platforms readers can find ‘Tyranny Reborn’ book to buy?
Tyranny Reborn is available on Amazon Kindle and paperback.
Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘Tyranny Reborn’?
The front cover was a last-minute idea. I had not thought how my front cover would appear at all. When I had to come up with the decision, I wanted to portray the image of Britain on the brink of collapse, just a subtle image that would stand out to the reader, the image of the ripped and burning England flag came to mind. The entrance of the MI5 building below the title to show who the main protagonists in my story were. As for the title, I came up with the title rather late on, about ten years into my writing. It merely popped into my head, I can’t explain why it did, no reason or rhyme to it. It just came to me and I liked it.
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
For me it takes hours and hours of research and not being afraid to go take a slightly different direction if necessary, that’s what keeps things fresh for me.
Q10. Are there any secrets from the book (that aren’t in the blurb), you can share with your readers?
The only thing I will say is…when you think you have worked it all out, you’ll be proved wrong!
