about: I began writing novels at school but was too shy to let anyone see them so I carried on making them up in my head. As a lonely child in boarding school, this was my drug of choice and I became quite addicted to it - as also to reading - always novels. I don't especially like films because I want to imagine the people and sets for myself not have them imposed on me by a director and producer. I believe this is the power of novels: the reader must work in concert with the writer to create the magic.
