Author Interview: Antony Simpson in 2026
In 2025, I did an Author Interview with Wigan Literature Festival. Author interviews are a great way for readers or potential readers to get to know you. But they are only current at their time of publish and soon become outdated. So I’ve decided to update this author interview for 2026 here:
FINDING YOUR HAPPINESS Flick Through Video
One of my favourite pastimes were my many visits to bookshops. I loved discovering new books. I miss flicking through a book to decide if it was something I wanted to read.
I know that I can’t recreate that experience for potential readers of my newest book – FINDING YOUR HAPPINESS. But I have created this video, that flicks through every page of the book, albeit quite quickly. The video is 02:42 minutes long and will give you a really good feel for the book:

Last week was my 40th birthday. Just before my birthday, I’d had some good news about my vasculitis. My birthday celebrations were low-key this year, mum, papa and I went out for a meal, followed by unicorn cake.
