Steven Fowler asked me and three others to take part in The Next Big Thing by answering the following questions about my next book, and nominating four others to do the same.
Where did the idea come from for the book?
The idea for the book came from an artificial pear that I found in Florida the day before beginning a residency at Wysing Arts Centre in April 2012.
