I’ve called my style of writing ‘nostalgedy’ because it tries to blend nostalgia and comedy. What is your genre(s) and why did you choose it? You can find the book at and amongst other Amazon sites. I would love to say that I planned this, but my writing is far too chaotic for that. Serendipitously, most of the stories seem to be about food in some context or other. If you kept nagging her about what you were going to get at your next meal, you would be told “You’ll get a kick at the pantry door if you’re not careful” i.e. This is a fairly obscure title based on a saying of my mother’s. The latest, and third, compilation of my stories is called ‘A Kick at the Pantry Door’. Basically, I just like making people laugh. To make matters worse, I’ve chosen to try and combine humour with nostalgia and there really aren’t many others doing the same thing, which may or may not be a good situation. Non-fiction isn’t very glamorous, but then again, neither am I, so I guess we’re a good match. I’m not really sure that I am all that different, other than that I’m mostly trying to plough a furrow in the non-fiction realm when the majority of authors seem to be aiming for the great British or American novel. What makes you different from other writers? I enjoyed getting to know more about him and his writing. Today I would like to welcome Philip Whiteland as my guest.
