Well, I'm going to try to avoid the obvious (Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy, although I love them). So I'm going to say Jane Eyre and Mr Rochester. There's a whimsical humour within their relationship, as well as intensity. These old novels have it all sewn up as far as chemistry goes - sadly lacking in modern literature. But can I choose a movie couple too? Sally Albright and Harry Burns. Best movie couple ever. End of.

Hello and thanks for asking! WELL...I was so set on a January release, when on a final read-through, I came across a fact-checking issue that had been troubling me. I've never done more research for a book than I have for this one, and I was just unable to get a straight answer to a certain, pivotal question!! Anyway, I think I may have resolved that issue now and am just cleaning up the subsequent repercussions from that, then I'll be done. That's a very long and boring answer - in short, I hope to be ready by the end of February. Probably... ;-)

Was it Oscar Wild who said, 'Be yourself, everybody else is already taken'? I don't know - somebody said it. Perhaps we ought to Google it..? Anyway, it wasn't me, that's for sure. But it's something I wholeheartedly agree with. There's only one you and if you put that into your writing, then you've already written something unique. Even if you have to break the rules a little bit to do it. It took me an unbelievably long time to realise that. Perhaps I'm a bit slow on the uptake...

Hi Arthur! I'm just finishing editing part two of the trilogy and hope to have that out by January. The third book is also in editing stages - two books out in 2016 maybe?? Get me! And what are you working on now?

It's difficult to say as I've virtually written three books on the bounce and never suffered with it. But now I'm finished (or nearly finished as I'm editing two books at once) I may well find I DO fall prey to a case of writer's block on my next book! Then I'll be the one asking for advice! But in my experience, if you're writing a book you're enthusiastic about - it shouldn't happen too often.
