Q: What did you want to be when you were a child?
I wanted to be a writer! I wrote my first poem - about a candle - when I was four, in a Silvine notebook. I still write in Silvine notebooks when I can.
Q: What is your favourite word?
Mumps. Just listen to it - mumps. Makes you smile.
Q: What do you do as a hobby?
I grow vegetables, and I have a cabin in the woods to play with.
Q: What’s your favourite food?
Food.
Q: What is the most interesting place you have ever visited?
South Africa. I spent six months teaching there.
Q: What is the best advice anyone has ever given you?
Go for it!
Q: What would you most like to change about yourself?
My many and varied methods of procrastination
Q: What has life taught you?
Everything. That it's just now - now - now.
Q: How long have you been a writer?
All my life. But I only started being serious about it six years ago. And now I have a novel published, another coming out soon, and a short book for reluctant readers...
Q: Where do you do your writing?
I write at home - in my conservatory in the warmer months, and in the spare room I call an office in the winter. But I don't really mind where I am.
Q: Where do you get your greatest ideas from?
Listening to other people, sitting still, and letting the ideas come in.
Q: Which of your own characters do you most identify with?
I identify with Marilyn in Vintage, because she's partly based on my teenage years. And with Mel in Closer, because she's outrageous, and difficult, and brave, and funny - I could go on...
