A CHAT WITH UPCOMING NOVELIST- ROBERT J FANSHAWE

A CELLIST'S FRIEND
2018  Masterpiece


Every year we go through  special experiences. 
I have had a few already and reading Fanshawe's new novel, has reached the list of 2018- Top Ten. Why special? Not just because of the unique story. But because I was surprised. I had heard Robert reading his poems, prose and even act in several GFMA plays. All sorts of characters : do -gooders and villains. The man is a creative powerhouse. His 70 year birthday in June, culminated with me interviewing him after finishing the first of his planned Trilogy.
At the start,  we see Benjamin,  friend of the executed soldier, the Cellist and musician, Cello. Did you plan the whole thing or you made it up while writing?
