This led to four months in hospital and many operations. In those days the doctors and nurses made you sit still all the time and stay in bed. So, my mum would bring books for me to read. As you can imagine 24 hours in bed is a long time, so I read lots of books. I found that I really enjoyed fiction books mostly action and adventure and thrillers. I devoured them, my mother had to go to the library two or three times a week just to keep up! And when I was not reading I was daydreaming about the adventures the heroes had in the stories.Q2 What made you leave the UK and go to Kenya?Steve Braker: I was living in central London with my first wife and four young children. I remember attending a sports day and watching my eldest daughter run a race. She was not used to running and her legs went all over the place. Then another day we were at swimming practice. It was like an oblong room with a plate glass window. All the parents sat huddled behind the glass watching their children splash across this fifteen-foot-wide pool. I thought to myself this is no life for a child. My wife was from Kenya, so I decided to sell everything and try to make a life on the other side of the world. I was lucky as I managed to get into a business relatively easily and send my kids to a private school which excelled at all sports. My kids became great athletes both in the water and on land.Q3 When did you first start writing?Steve Braker: Writing stories has always been a passion of mine. When I was in the UK I ran a British Council Accredited English Language school in the West End of London. I was exposed to all levels of English while I taught students. We would often write short stories in class as a way to explore the student's levels of grammar and vocabulary. I would also prepare stories as a way of showing different grammatical rules etc. It soon became something of a hobby for me. Anyone who has lived in a city knows that the commute is a boring time, so I used to write thrillers just for fun while I travelled on the tube!
