Family tends to be one of the recurring themes in my fiction.

I love books about dysfunctional families.

I like stories that affect families.

We all have our family issues from time to time.

'Family Life' is a blueprint of my life. It was horrible and physically gruesome in a way the book doesn't attempt to capture. It was emotionally very bleak.

My stories are fundamentally about the love of family.

I do a lot of writing about my family.

There is a common theme, though, in the stories I have told, which are usually associations of characters or families that are formed outside of a family circle.

Family is conflict and it's something that we all relate to.

To me, families are puzzles that take a lifetime to work out - or not, as often is the case - and I like to explore how people within them try to connect, be it through love, duty, or circumstance.
