Someone asked me today, Why did you write Phobic Wars
The answer is not a simple one.
The first mention of cockroaches can often make my skin crawl and the hairs on the back of my neck stand on edge.
These crawling insects are synonymous with dirt and filth, and to make matters worse, like a giant bacteria magnet, they can also assist in the spread of disease...
Roaches aren’t fussy eaters at all, they will eat pretty much anything, fruit, glue, faeces, you name it! They have even taken to eating other cockroaches
Like rats and mice, these creepies can squeeze through the smallest of cracks! This is all down to their amazing exoskeletons. Cockroaches are able to fit through a gap as small as a quarter of their body height by flattening their flexible exoskeletons and splaying their legs to the side.
Studies have shown that these crawling insects have been linked to triggering asthma as well as other allergies! My specialist area of clinical expertise is Respiratory, so no choice but to dislike them..
Cockroaches can live for approximately one week without a head! The reason behind this is, that unlike us, they don’t need their mouths to breathe. Instead, they use spiracles (tiny hole) in their body to inhale and transport oxygen.
Gross... So now you see what started me off... Then there is my love for mystery and history so combined Atlantis to a mystery.
All in all, probably the most daring book I have written. I enjoy writing all my stories but this one, this one was special.
Read it and tell me what you think 🤔....
