Interview with AJ Wilton, Author of Mortice in America: More Justice – Mort Style!

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Mortice in America: More Justice – Mort Style!?

This is book 3 in a series of action, thrillers featuring the main characters Mort & Pig. Former Australian Army ‘specialists’ they use their specialised skills in meting out Justice ‘Mort Style.’ This books takes them through Canada & USA where they move from being the hunters, to the hunted and back again. With explosive consequences.

Book 4 in the Mortice series, ‘Mortice: Hammer Down’ is released in October, with plans for 2 per year for the next three years. Ten books in total.

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

Yes action thrillers!

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Currently reading Tim Tigner’s Twisted Lives. With Harlen Coben, Lee Goldberg, AJ Wilton (Book 4😊) & Vince Milam all waiting.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

The car chase & the finale! I always try to ensure there are ‘pinch points’ that bring tears – both sad and happy!

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

Nope. I run two growing businesses, so squeeze in some writing whenever I get a chance! (Sleep is overrated!)

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

‘Why walk when you can run!’

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

I hope they remember it as a ‘good rollicking yarn’ and that they are disappointed when they read ‘The End’!
