I worked for a couple of London Fine Art auction houses as a Victorian Painting specialist. I then found myself involved in politics...but grew out of it. I love Britain, the United States, Pre Raphaelite paintings, the Beatles and cats. Only the cats have got more out of me than I have them.
I devour historical biographies. No subject is too obscure.

She will stand you up. Writing is a craft no different from pottery or basket weaving. Just sit and write. Anything. Then write it again. But do not obsess or polish until you have finished the first draft. There are thousands of would-be authors with beautifully written two chapter books decaying in their bedside drawer. I greatly admire Jeffrey Archer. Any man who rises at 6 am each morning to write, deserves respect. Wear his work ethic like it’s your favourite overcoat. It will be heavy at times but it will always protect you. Writers procrastinate more than any other profession I can think of.
