There is no part of me that feels that I represented myself as your children’s babysitter or their teacher. I was always, I think, completely honest. I’m a writer, and I will write what I want to write.

What you write becomes who you are… So make sure you love what you write!

In truth, I never consider the audience for whom I'm writing. I just write what I want to write.

I'm a writer, and I will write what I want to write.

Read a lot. Reading really helps. Read anything you can get your hands on.

I think they thought it was very arrogant of me to write the end of my seven books series when I didn't have a publisher and no-one had heard of me

Writing and cafes are strongly linked in my brain.

There appears to be something to do with vehicles and movement that stimulates my writing.

I've been asked this question so many times, do you feel you need to write a book for adults? No, I don't need to write a book for adults.
