Exclusive: In conversation with author Craig Bradwell

Craig Bradwell

Just Fame recently interviewed author Craig Bradwell in regard to his book ‘Table Talk At Trump Card Bridge Club‘. We got insights into his book, his source of inspiration, and much more!

Q1. Welcome to Just Fame! How are you doing?

I am fine – life’s great at the moment I get to play bridge once a week at my Grimsby Bridge Club and the rest of the week is looking after my beautiful autistic son and epileptic dyspraxia daughter.

Q2. Please tell our readers about your wonderful book Table Talk At Trump Card Bridge Club. The title itself is intriguing!

My Book Table Talk At Trump Card Bridge Club is about starting to learn the game of bridge from a young age. It explores the journey of four kids as they navigate learning the game of bridge transitioning from school to the actual Trump Card Bridge Club. It is based on actual competitions and events that actually happened at Grimsby Bridge Club and has realistic table conversations that would happen in any actual bridge club. The book is also based on my life experiences of learning the game from a young age.

Q3. What motivated and inspired you to write this book?

I was motivated to write this book as a dedication to Grimsby Bridge Club past and present members as the Club once had a membership of 300 in the 80s and had some glorious years and sadly its now down to its last 12 members including myself. It also honors famous bridge players of the past as well. I also wanted to highlight the power of Youth Bridge and how valuable it is and how especially in Grimsby its nonexistent and I would love all schools to have bridge on the curriculum so if this book helps somehow achieve that that is what motivated me to write the book as well as wanting my own Grimsby Bridge Club not to be lost to the times of history.

Q4. Any tips or advice for aspiring writers?

Aspiring writers should write about what they know and believe in and never hold back on what they want to say.

Q5. What’s next? Which book or project are you working on now?

Yes, I have just published my first book in the regretful teaching series and the second one is due out around the middle of November “The regretful bridge player teaches how to unlock the secrets of Stayman and Transfers”. I am also in the process of collaborating with a ghostwriter to publish my autobiography due out Xmas 2024.

I also have an interest in history and am putting together a series of books based on WWI but that is a long-term plan after the bridge teaching series is finished.

Q6. Finally, as we ask all our guests, do you have any closing thoughts that you would like to share with the world and our readers?

Life is too short to waste on not going after what you believe in so don’t put off what you want to do and get on and do it.
