What do you write?
Poetry, fiction of all lengths – flash, short stories, novellas, novels, biography…
Who or what do you get your inspiration from?
Mostly from my unique Channel Island upbringing with eccentric parents + a life of unusual experiences.
What is your writing routine?
I live on a farm, so get up at 5am – I read what I wrote the previous day and then set off with the dogs for a couple of hours and think about writing and how I’m going to progress or edit when I return. I usually manage to write for a couple of hours during the morning and then again late at night.
Whilst people-watching for research purposes, what is the funniest comment you have overheard?
I was accompanying my centenarian grandfather home on a ferry, when a fellow passenger started chatting to him and told him that she was going on holiday to recuperate from an operation and that she couldn’t swim, ride a bicycle or have sex for 6 weeks – he said ‘Good God woman! What are you telling me this for – did you think I was going to offer?’
If you could have lunch with any writer, dead or alive, who would it be?
Too difficult to pick just one!
You’re marooned on a desert island and have to make a fire. Which book or series would you hide from the flames?
A S Byatt’s ‘Possession’.
