Daydreaming and thinking up imaginary situations and conversations have been among my favourite occupations for as long as I can remember. Books have always played a big part in my life - reading them by the dozen and writing them. I wrote my first 'novel' when I was still at primary school and a few decades on I'm still going. Writing has always been my first love. I'm not sure that I could stop even if I wanted to but feedback from readers is a great motivator - knowing that others are entertained and/or inspired by my ideas is enormously satisfying.
