I've given my memoirs far more thought than any of my marriages. You can't divorce a book.

Books and marriage go ill together.

A lot of my YA novels are about family problems.

But mostly, it's a book about my relationship with my father.

I love books about dysfunctional families.

Books were in my family - books were my family.

Too many couples break up without understanding the consequences for their families.

'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.

If you want to read about love and marriage, you've got to buy two separate books.

I've really written my books for my husband and our family. They've brought us closer together by allowing us to discuss things that were unspoken for so long.
