I don't normally have time to read, so when I go away I like to take a few books.

Travelling is a great time to catch up on my reading. It's hard falling asleep in new places, but a good book always makes it easier.

I'm a voracious reader - I always have a book on the go and read for at least half an hour, usually more, every night.

A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted. You should live several lives while reading it.

There are books all around me... I don't read as much as I used to, but I always have a book or two going.

I like to get suggestions on what to read. I'll look at Twitter, people I like, people I admire... I'll go and research the book, download it on my phone and read it while I'm on the road.

Whether I'm at the office, at home, or on the road, I always have a stack of books I'm looking forward to reading.

I write books that will make 10 or 12 hours disappear, and hopefully they'll resonate with you for a few days, where you'll remember the characters and the story. That suits me fine; I am happy with that.

With the novels, I try to write a few pages a day - it doesn't sound much, but it can be difficult if I'm not sure where the story is going.

I think you get so wrapped up in the book you're currently writing, it's hard to think about anything else. But I know as soon as I'm done with this book, I'll move on to something else.
