Q: Which three words describe you best?

Q: What is your favourite word?

Q: What are you afraid of?
Vampires, liver, the smell of liver cooking, pointed teeth......ok, you get the picture.
Q: What is your most treasured possession?
A chunk of amethyst from a mine in the Arctic Circle. I dug it out myself.

Lorry driver in Scotland. Might get a chance to spot the Loch Ness monster!
Q: Do you feel younger or older than your current age?
Definitely younger, 14 going on 22!
Q: If you could meet one person, dead or alive, who would it be?
Nelson Mandela.
Q: What quality do you most admire in a person?
Integrity
Q: What is the most interesting place you have ever visited?
The Arctic Circle. I have an obsession with the Polar explorers and experiencing -30C in Lapland gave me some idea of what they had to endure.
Q: What has life taught you?
Live today, you don't know what's round the next corner.
Q: How long have you been a writer?
Since before I could hold a pen.
Q: Where do you do your writing?
On the bus, in coffee bars, in my study, at the kitchen table, anywhere really.
Q: What do you do to combat “writers’ block”?
Sit down and write. It's the only way. Write anything, write rubbish, write serbo-croat, but write your way out of it. It always works.
Q: What was your favourite book as a child?
The Secret Garden. I won it as a prize when I was nine and I read it a million times. I loved the way Mary and Colin went on a journey from becoming miserable, whiny kids to happy, positive friends. And I think I was in love with the wonderful Dickon.
Q: What advice would you give to aspiring authors?
Do it! Enjoy it and enter the wonderful world of your own beautiful mind.
