I would love to go to Narnia, although what I would do there... I really don't know!

Hello Patricia, and thank you for your three questions :)
To answer the last first, I have no writing discipline at all! I write from inspiration, and at the moment I'm waiting for ideas for my next book. When they come I spend hours churning out my writing, and can be completely oblivious to what is going on around me. Many times I have looked up at my study window to find that the day has gone and it's dark. So I have no routine, and I only write when there is a story going on.
I hope this answers all three, but do not hesitate to ask more questions, they make me think about the process. Best wishes.

Everything about her face was wrong.
As she gazed into the mirror and felt the splash of warm tears falling on to her cheeks, the dry-eyed reflection began to smile back at her...

My grandmother's father had a secret. No-one in my father's generation knew of it. Nor did they understand why my grandmother would never speak to her mother, and even crossed the road to avoid her if she saw her in the street.
But I found out...

I am sidestepping the question slightly. A 'couple' who could be classed as my favourite but who are not (yet) actually a couple are Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott in the excellent trilogy by Robert Galbraith (J K Rowling) - beginning with 'The Cuckoo's Calling'.
The difficulty posed by the question is in identifying a fictional couple where I like both of them. This is so often not the case! However with the pair I have chosen, I like them both very much. I also find the interaction between them highly entertaining. The characters are beautifully and sensitively drawn by the author, to the point where one actually cares what happens to them.
Would I feel the same if they came together as a couple? It is amusing to ponder on whether there would be the same chemistry, but it would be a delight to find out!

Thank you so much for reading Losing Time. To date this is my first and only novel, but I have already begun the sequel to it - although I dare not say when it will be finished. Losing Time took a very long time to write. I am delighted that it is 'pulling you in' - exactly what I hoped it might do! Enjoy :)

I have always written! I can't imagine a time when I have not jotted down the odd idea or description. From a teenager writing in the school library when I should have been studying, to gazing out of the window of an office when I should have been working, writing has been the love of my life.

When I was on holiday in Ireland, staying at a hotel which had once been a private house and in which my late father had stayed in the nineteen forties. A small door in a neglected sitting room led me to wonder what was behind it, and then to imagine walking through the door into the past and finding my father...

I am working on the sequel to LOSING TIME which will be called STOPPING TIME.
