I always liked spy stories.

I love the spy genre.

I've always had a great affection for espionage stories. I like weaving them, and I like thrillers.

It's a thrilling world, and people really like stories about secrets, which is the essence of a spy drama.

The world of spying is my genre. My struggle is to demystify, to de-romanticise the spook world, but at the same time harness it as a good story.

I began writing fiction because it was the only way to tell all the intricacies of a real-life spy story.

It is my writing dilemma. The world of spying is my genre. My struggle is to demystify, to de-romanticise the spook world, but at the same time harness it as a good story.

The spy genre is something which, as a fan of movies, a movie geek myself, I just love that cinematic joy that they bring.

I've been a spy for almost all of my adult life - I don't like being in the spotlight.

Spy plots are hard, really hard.
