Author Q&A
·
If you could travel anywhere in the world to write, where
would you choose to go?
I’ve written in a few different countries and sometimes stay in Spain for three months but I’m hopeless at writing anywhere with beautiful scenery! I just can’t settle to write in a tranquil garden or in a shady spot by a river – that’s reading time for me. I need to be somewhere dull so, when I’m in Spain, I turn my back to the view and write in a back bedroom until I’m done then take a book to read in the sunshine.

Do
you have a favourite food or drink when writing?
One of the good things about
writing is that I forget the time and I forget to eat. I do always have a mug
of black tea to hand though. It goes cold but I can drink it like that. When
I’ve finished, I’ll raid the snack cupboard or pour a glass of wine.

What’s
one thing you’d like to say to your readers?
Precious
reader, if you like a book, don’t be shy about leaving a review. You are
important and your view is too. It’s great feedback for a writer. Good reviews
are best of course, but sometimes we need to know if something doesn’t work.
Writing is solitary work so findng out readers have taken the time to post reviews or signed up to my newletter on my
website can make my day.

Did
you want to be an author when you grew up?
I
didn’t realise that ordinary people could be authors until I was grown
up. I wanted to be a teacher because I loved my primary teacher and knew that
was a possibility but I didn’t know anyone could be an Enid Blyton or write
like LM Montgomery as a career. I first nurtured the dream when I studied
English Literature but it was something for the distant future. In my late twenties and thirties, I juggled my career with
being a single parent and my dreams of writing novels, finding my ideal man or
travelling had to be put on hold. My younger self would be so amazed to know
that I'd be a happily remarried, well- travelled author, one day.

What
fantastical magical world would you you want to live in, if given the chance?
I’d
like to visit Downton Abbey for a few days in the roaring twenties, as a
relative to be pampered or as a kitchen servant to join in the fun below
stairs. I’m a ‘Call the Midwife’ fan so I’d love to spend a week in Poplar
during the fifties and help the midwives at Nonnatus House. I’m a bit wobbly on
a bike though! Finally, I’d like to do a week’s supply teaching at Hogwarts and
brush up on a few spells.
