I live in Lincolnshire and love the flat, endless landscapes and I want these to be seen in my books. Mike Malone has moved from the city to Lincolnshire - unlike me, I was born here and haven't moved.

In my full-time, job I teach in a secondary school. I teach 11-16 year-olds and as you might imagine, sometimes it is a real pleasure to come home and murder someone on paper. It certainly releases the tension after a stressful day in the classroom.

Shortlisted for the Booker Prize and one that I think will be a favourite to win - not that I enjoyed it. I can appreciate the message and what the author is saying, but I found it a very difficult read. Not a favourite.
