Turning faith into fiction
Peter Parr and Mike Brooks are Quakers who are also writers. Both had their debut novels published this year. They discuss their work and how their Quaker faith informs their writing and what they hope readers will gain from reading their work.
Mike: How does it feel to have your first novel published? I understand it’s been a long time in the making.
Peter: I’m very excited. Yes, I began writing the book over twenty years ago while still at school, but I’ve changed a lot in the intervening years and the novel has grown with me. In particular, my faith has become more central in my life and that has influenced the tone of the book.
