Quote

I was a storyteller for The Band. It was never, 'Hey guys, here's a song about what happened to me.' I was always more comfortable writing fiction.

The novel, for me, was an accident. I really don't consider myself a novelist.

I was writing fiction, but not finishing fiction.

I had novels to write, so I wrote them.

It was either write or die for me.

Fiction novels, that's my game.

There's always a bit of fiction in everything that I write.

Then I read Little Women, and of course, like a lot of really young girls, I was very taken with Jo - Jo being the writer and the misfit.

I had a few stories and longer pieces published, but my first proper novel came in 2003, called 'Dead I Well May Be.'
