Who is your favourite author?
Wow, favourite author. Can I list a few??? From the Indie circuit – Mary Ann Bernal, VickieMcKeehan, Mark Barry, Brenda Perlin.
And from the traditionally published sector – Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway, Sebastian Faulks and Scarlett Thomas. I recently read Martin Amis’ The Night Train … writing at its best.
I read as much as I can and delight at sampling new authors and their work. Mark Barry’s The Night Porter has just been released and I am looking forward to discovering the literary treats between those pages!
When you finish a book how do you celebrate, coffee or alcohol?
A large latte and blueberry muffin!!!!! It is such a strange feeling I experience when I finally publish a book. Not one of elation and not one of sorrow, somewhere in between. Perhaps a feeling of closure which eventually spreads into a smile. At that point I will wander about feeling very proud and happy.
