Whenever I write, I'm always thinking of the reader.

An ideal reader is someone who doesn't know what on Earth you've been doing, who will look at it with absolute freshness and go, 'Oh, so that's what you've been up to.'

I want my readers to feel, to think, sometimes to laugh. But most of all I want them to enjoy a good read.

I write what I'd like to read and just hope that, along the way, others might like to read them, too.

There are two questions that you ask yourself as a writer, and one of them is, 'But why?' The question that takes the book forward is, 'What if? What if x y or z happened? How would those characters react?'

I read all the time. Sometimes I get asked if I've thought about writing a novel.

I suppose people might consider me a 'loose' reader, as I seem willing to read anything of quality thinking and prose.

I loved to read and would read anything that roused my interest, whether it was below my age level or above it, even if I could barely make sense of it.

You're a reader as well as a writer, so write what you'd want to read.
