About "Whisky from Small Glasses":

Daley battles a tight-knit community as well as a baffling case, leading him to an unbearable conclusion where all he holds dear is in dire peril. (read more)
Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Whisky From Small Glasses”?
D.A. Meyrick: I think “Whisky From Small Glasses” is predicated on a study of how the way life is so different in rural Scotland from that experienced in the more urban areas. (read more)

JP: What sets “Whisky From Small Glasses” apart from other books in the same genre?
DAM: I believe that the infusion of humour into a vexed situation adds realism to the plot. After all, don’t most of us employ humour in our daily lives in order to get over serious situations? I want the reader to be laughing one minute, then shaking with fear the next! (read more)
JP: As an author, what are the keys to your success that led to “Whisky From Small Glasses” getting out to the public?
DAM: I think being picked up by a publisher was very important. It is now so much easier now for potential writers to see their work in print, by way of self-publishing. In turn, this also means there are many more books ‘out there’. (read more)
JP: As an author, what is your writing process? How long did it take you to start and finish “Whisky From Small Glasses“?
DAM: When I first started, I was pretty haphazard in terms of when I wrote and the structure of my writing day. Now, I find it much easier to sit down twice a day in order to get things done. (read more)
JP: What’s next for D.A. Meyrick?
DAM: My aim is the the ‘Daley’ novels to be a series. I have plotted out the first four, and I am already a third of the way through the sequel to “Whisky From Small Glasses”, which is provisionally entitled, “Ghost in the Gloaming”. (read more)
