Probably Arthur and George, by Julian Barnes. Not your conventional couple, but artfully brought tougher by Barnes and intensely contrasted as the paths of their lives cross

I am fascinated by history's icons, such as Leonardo da Vinci, who was the subject of GIOCONDA. My next two books will be in a similar vein. I am also very interested in the intersections between history and myth.

I always wrote as a child, but later life got in the way. It took me too long to get back to it. Wish I'd done that sooner. I think that reading inspired me to write. I remember reading Watership Down about ten times as a child. I always loved the classics, such as Charlotte's Web and The Secret Garden.

For me, it's having the chance to write the book you would love to read. I also think that for most writers it's a form of therapy - we can't control everything in our own world, but we can do it on paper...

I find that a walk always does the trick whenever I am stuck on something that won't come clear. Either that or doing repetitive tasks. You need to take your mind off the book for a while. When you do, things seem to shift into place themselves.
