Q: Which three words describe you best?
Reformed English Teacher.
Q: What is your favourite word?

I like running. I've run a few marathons and like to keep fit. I also play the mandolin in various ceilidh bands around the North West. Oh, and I like reading and writing of course!
Q: Where do you do your writing?
All over the place, in cars, in the kitchen, in the garden (when it's sunny), anywhere that is warm, cosy and quiet.
Q: Where do you get your greatest ideas from?
Everywhere. Music, things people say, History programmes, the news,other stories.

Running helps me to think ideas through. Sometimes I just write anyway and see what happens. Other times I do something else and wait for the ideas to sneak back.

Write for fun. Write your story. Don't try and copy anyone else because they've sold lots of books.
