Challenging Expectations with Peter Cocks & Simon Mason
Peter Cocks is known for his fantasy series Triskellion written with Mark Billingham; Simon Mason is the creator of The Quigleys series about an eccentric family, but both tackle darker issues in their new novels. Peter's Body Blow, the follow up to his gritty thriller Long Reach, finds Eddie Savage battling to escape from the ganglords of London's criminal underworld, whilst in Moon Pie, Simon features a family dealing with a lost mother and an alcoholic father. Why these subjects? And how does a writer tackle challenging issues in a sensitive yet realistic and engaging way?
