An Interview With Lee Thomas
The Letterpress Project has asked authors and illustrators to think about what has inspired them as artists, what their favourite books are and how they relate to their audience - we've also asked them if they themselves are book collectors.
We are delighted to present an exclusive interview with author, Lee Thomas. Lee is a part-time drug and alcohol counsellor, and a part-time stay-at-home dad with a real passion for writing. His greatest audience up until now has been his daughter, Ayla (5), who has always been his inspiration.
An unpublished author, with Molly and the Bog Sprogs being his debut, Lee hopes to create an exciting series of books helping children deal with everyday problems through the exploits of these mini-monsters.
Lee is also an accomplished screenwriter, having sold a number of screenplays, and written a few award-winning short films.
