  Your ultimate writing ambition?
  To write for the screen and create real quality fiction and destroy Hollywood dross (not too ambitious!). Also to faithfully adapt numerous books that I feel would translate into film beautifully.
  Your worst habit?
  To forget to eat, sleep and breath when inspired- can be detrimental to health, or alternatively to spend two days refining that all important sentence!
  Your opinion on the books industry?
  Too much celebrity and hype, but good books still get through
  
  Where do you write?
  anywhere
  What else do you want Word Clouders to know? eg: do you have 9 cats / like paragliding / eat nothing but tinned fish / work in the bath / live in Kettering?
  Unfortunately I do not work in the bath, own 9 cats or have a diet that consists entirely of tinned fish. Far less interesting, however, I have a love of historical novels (I did say less interesting!) and have an unhealthy addiction to writing poetry.
