I believe there is a creative side in all of us and writing novels provides an outlet for this creativity.

There are some scenes in my books that have become my favourites and there is no better feeling in the world than discovering that my readers have enjoyed them too. The community of readers who enjoy my books are made up of people of all races, religions, ages and political persuasions and it is a wonderful feeling to know that their enjoyment of my books unites them all.

The first draft of The Last Oracle contained one hundred and forty thousand words. I had to chop over one third of the book out during the subsequent drafts to make it readable!

The nearest equivalent I get to writer’s block is when I wrestle with the flow or the logic of the storyline. Each scene or situation needs to leave the reader thinking ‘wow’ or being full of admiration for the ingenuity of the book’s main characters. It must also move the story forward in a logical and exciting way. Sometimes I have wrestled with a scene for days. To deal with this situation, I move on with the rest of the book and deal with the blockage in subsequent drafts. When I return to the troublesome scene weeks or months later it can often be eliminated, or the answer just hits me in the face!
