Not sure it's my thing, but I'll give it a go.

For me it's just a feeling. I wrote my memoir after my father died. We didn't get on, and yet I was so sad when he died. I was confused, and didn't think I deserved to feel that way. I started to write, thinking I only had bad memories of him and it would help to get it off my chest. But to my suprise, I started remembering some good things, and the more I wrote, the more I remembered. Writing the book was an amazing journey that left me feeling at peace with my father.

The Secret Garden. My favourite children's book by Frances Hodgson. I would meet Colin Firth there as he's doing a remake of the film which comes out soon.

I have just finished a short story for and annual competition in my home town. It's the first time I've entered a writing competition.

My book is a memoir, so the idea came from my life, growing up in a big Irish Catholic family, in Liverpool. There was lots of fun, laughter, tears, and drama. I hope I managed to convey all of that in the book. My main hope is that it makes the reader laugh.
