Q: What did you want to be when you were a child?

A Detective (a P.I. like Jim Rockford, Magnum, Heart to heart... oh I could go on.) or an Artist. I was always drawing and making. I used to have a gallery of my work (arranged beautifully on the 1960's patterned carpet) and I would charge my brother entry!

Q: What do you do as a hobby?

Printmaking

Q: What is your most treasured possession?

My children

Q: What strange habits do you have?

Couldn't possibly say!

Q: What�s your favourite food?

Anything made of potatoes.

Q: Do you feel younger or older than your current age?

Usually ALOT younger but occasionally on bad days very old

Q: What is the best advice anyone has ever given you?

Do not learn to type or you'll end up as a secretary!

Q: What would you most like to change about yourself?

Better temper and more money.

Q: What were you like at school?

I was a bit invisible. I think apart from my art teacher I wouldn't be remembered. I found school boring. I giggled a lot and was always day dreaming. I left school at 16 for Art College..far more exciting.

Q: How long have you been a writer?

My first book came out 1996

Q: Where do you do your writing?

Everywhere

Q: What are the best and worst things about being an author?

I feel I'm always working, so its a seamless mix of practicalities and creating. I feel so fortunate to make a living from what I love. I find switching from artist/illustrator/writer to Mum each day hard at times, especially when I'm really into my work.

Q: What book do you wish you had written?

Any by Dr Zuess

Q: What advice would you give to aspiring authors?

Don't make excuses for not getting on with it and learn to face rejection. Always re-do your work until your totally satisfied-perhaps put it away for a couple of weeks and re-check it again, then.
