Interview with Eric Richardson, Author of Blood Betrayal

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Blood Betrayal?

I was part of the London gangland life – I was in prison for 20 years – I learned to read, fell in love with it and then started writing. I found redemption and turned my life around.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Blood Betrayal, what would they be?

My book is set in the 1980’s so there are numerous references to music of that decade.

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Gritty crime fiction.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

James Elroy “This Storm” is my next read.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

I enjoyed every single one.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

My cat is my lucky writing mascot, his name is Boots, a 4 yr old Ragdoll, and he has a cameo in the book.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Seize the day.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

They remember it.
