Animals are more logical in their behaviour than humans. You only have to look at the state of the planet to understand humans are not logical creatures. They are more self-centred, greedy and irrational.
If I was an artist then I would be a landscape painter, and my work would reflect my love of the natural world.
In my writing, I'm more interested in writing about human's irrational behaviour.
Stone Angels is about an artist, James Ravencroft and his drive to paint ten masterpieces, but it is also about what drives him to hunt out certain types of models. I guess my plot was really about the old question of whether it is nature versus nurture as to whether someone becomes a serial killer because of their upbringing, or it’s in their nature, which means we have no control over it.
James in, Stone Angels, was neglected by his mother and the reader has to decide whether it was her neglect, or purely circumstance that caused his behaviour.

People who don’t sing from the same song sheet as you.

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

It took me a long time to realise that even people who are part of my family don’t sing from the same song sheet as me. I’ve realised that I don’t need them to make my life complete and that I’m not important enough to be part of theirs.

The best people to have in your life are ones who make you laugh, and accept you for who you are.
