His formal education was at Hammond’s Grammar School in Swaffham, and at the Norfolk College of Arts and Technology, King’s Lynn.
Perhaps incongruously, for an author, he has a background in karate and kickboxing and has also traveled extensively – particularly in the Far East.
He is married (to Julie) and currently lives in Norwich, England.
Stuff about him: he’s a foodie; he values good manners, love, and friendship above all else; he is constantly putting his foot in it: he loves to laugh, but sometimes does that ‘snorty pig’ noise when he does!
He’s notoriously naughty, but also easy-going and extremely friendly. Welcome, Kevin Ansbro.
Kevin Ansbro’ Kinnara is outlandish
What is your favorite genre and why? Magical realism: Salman Rushdie, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Carlos Ruiz Zafón are just three of my literary heroes.Books that portray the grunt of life, just as it is, can quickly become prosaic; why not distort that reality and add some bombastic pizzaz to keep the reader fascinated and enthralled?
Here’s the back cover synopsis: Phuket, Thailand, seemed to be the perfect getaway choice for twenty-two-year-old Calum Armstrong: What he saw, and did, on that holiday proves to have far-reaching consequences; not only for himself but also for those closest to him. In Germany, uncompromising Frankfurt detective, Otto Netzer is leading the manhunt for a brutal serial killer who preys on heavily-pregnant women… Neither Calum nor the killer, yet realize that their destiny lies in the hands of a mythical creature who resides beneath the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea. Intriguing and exotic, Kevin Ansbro’s novel explores how our actions can come back to haunt us in the most unexpected ways. It’s nasty, funny, heartbreaking and uplifting. Intrigued? You bet you’re intrigued! Kinnara book on Amazon
Kinnara by Kevin Ansbro will make you laugh and might make you cry
What is generally your preference for reading – a paper book or ebook? And why? Oh, easy! A paperback of course! There are few better pleasures in life than the feel and smell of a real book as you prepare to read its first chapter. Plus I enjoy the thrill of chasing down an escaped page as it flutters down the beach! What is the last book you finished reading? What is the current book you are reading? I’d be a pretty poor writer if I wasn’t also an avid reader.My most recent read was ‘The Spike Collection’, a selection of extremely funny short stories by talented English author, and friend, Martin Skate. It was hugely enjoyable! Here’s my review, posted on Goodreads:
My Goodreads review of Martin’s book. I am currently reading a pre-release of Hunter’s Moon, written by my wonderful friend, Canadian author, Sheri McInnis. In fact, I’m already suffering withdrawal symptoms whilst answering these questions! If one fine morning you wake up and find your sex changed to the opposite, what will be your first reaction? Excellent, Jaideep! I adore questions like this!
Hmmm, waking up to discover I’m a woman? So-o… (after my wife and I have scrambled out of bed, and have finally finished screaming like banshees) I’d like to think that I could rock the look, and might one day marry Prince Harry in Westminster Abbey! Not sure how we’d explain all this to my in-laws, though. Is it likely to happen? I feel wholly unprepared for such an unexpected event!
