In conversation with Dave Sivers

In this week’s conversation, Dave Sivers and I are chatting about all things character, backstories and senses. Dave first joined me on the Thursday Throng back 2013 with his first book in the Archer and Baines series The Scars Beneath the Soul.

Dave started out writing hybrid crime fantasy novels which he describes as rather like Raymond Chandler meets JRR Tolkein, before moving onto contemporary crime with the Archer and Baines series.

Although the first book The Scars Beneath the Soul was modestly successful, it was the sequel to the first book, Dead in Deep Water that really took off in the genre Serial Killers when it was published, staying at number 2 for several weeks. He says at one day in 2014 he logged on to see that The Scars Beneath the Soul had also started to take off, as had his original hybrid crime fantasy novels.

And it was at that point he received one of the Amazon All-Star awards for being one of the most read authors. Archer and Baines now have five books to their name, and Dave has just published the first of a new DI Quarrel series.
