#WritersCoffeeClub C&R: Describe your opening scene. Everyone: What mood does it set?
Mrs. Cleyton has her morning breakfast on a Saturday like any other. It’s Spring and a goldfinch graces her garden, distracting her from the contemplations brought upon by her empty house. She had a family, but since 7 years, she doesn’t anymore. Instead, she only has her two dogs now.
When she arrives at the animal shelter where she volunteers, an English Mastiff is brought in that bites her superior, but she manages to bring the giant dog under control.
That night, she dreams her dogs are playing in the fields, joined by the Mastiff from the shelter. They carry the names of her deceased family members.

#WritersCoffeeClub 26 May: In what ways does your work defy expectation?
With #mrsCleyton — and this is also why I’m not too scared of the plot getting spoiled — I tried to write a psychological thriller without a twist. Of course, then you could say that the twist is that there is no twist…
It’s hard to explain to someone who hasn’t read it, so if you want to know, you might want to grab a copy 😉 (links are in my profile)

#WritersCoffeeClub 3 May: Do you write your works localised to the setting or to your background?
Well of course it’s set to the setting! Unless you’re taking a *very* narrow definition of localisation? Like my debut was set in Scotland, but I’m not versed in Gaelic, so it was “merely” written in English.
Also, I’m translating #mrsCleyton back to Dutch, so I suppose by then it will be localised to both its own setting around Brighton as well as my Dutch background… but even then, language is merely one part of localisation and the rest will stay true to its setting.

Received my first 5 star review on Amazon for #mrsCleyton and dang… I knew I was writing psychological shit, but I didn’t expect the reviews to be so psychological in return 😅
> In this precarious balance, the third dog represents the Jungian Shadow, breaking the comforting routine and bringing the repressed truth to the surface.
> Silver employs a hyperrealistic style to describe a mind living in an eternal traumatic present, making madness the only form of coherence left.

#ScribesAndMakers 15 April: What's a smell that has featured in your work?
Excerpt from #mrsCleyton:
Another gust of wind shook the car and she felt a bump. For a split second, her world lit up and she slammed down on the pedal as hard as she could. A silent screech brought the car to a halt and Mrs. Cleyton sat behind the wheel, panting and sweating.
She smelt ozone, purple and white.

Some copies were never meant to be…
What do you do when you have a misprint of one novel and a copy with water damage of another? A ritual burning seemed cleansing, and it was.

Pssst. Can you keep a secret?
#mrsCleyton is set for release on 2 April, but to prove it's not a joke, #Amazon hardcovers are available to order now. This way, with a spoon of luck, hopefully it may land upon your doorstep before #Easter.

#ScribesAndMakers 30 March: Do birds ever feature in your work? Give an example.
Oh boy, you're going to make me say it, aren't you?
In #mrsCleyton, animals in general, but particularly dogs and birds, play a pivotal role in the story arcs. I don't want to spoil the ending, so let's just say that the dogs are characters on their own, while birds are the victims.

#WritersCoffeeClub 29 March: Share one of your writing milestones.
2 April 2026: The date #mrsCleyton is officially unleashed unto the world. The day her dogs will try to come and find new readers. The day from where onward, #easter will never have the same connotations again.
