They're not strictly a couple, but I do have a soft spot for Hercule Poirot and Ariadne Oliver. As a thinly-disguised Agatha Christie, she is almost there on the page interacting with her famous creation and irritating him in probably much the same way as he came to irritate her. I like Tommy and Tuppence, too. And Tony Hill and Carol Jordan. Rebus and Siobhan...alright, I'll stop now.

Part of the adventure follows on from the previous book but as the sixth book was coming to an end I had the idea of where Marty & Weedgie would be heading next and some of the action. The rest will flow as I go.

When I relax, switch off and am doing something different...that's when I sometimes have a flash of inspiration and then I have to scribble it down. And try and translate it at a later point, when I come to write it.

The seventh Marty & Weedgie book, as yet untitled. I usually have the title before I begin, but in this case, as with the sixth book, I don't. Something will pop into my head at an appropriate moment. Hopefully.

Write. just do it. Write something - anything - down and see how it goes. Write and edit. Enjoy what you write. Lose yourself in it. And read loads.

Disappearing off into my head and other worlds for vast periods of time, and receiving lovely feedback from readers who have enjoyed my books. If I can provide a bit of escapism, I'm happy.
