I like to tell stories. Sometimes they have to be big, sometimes they work better small. I like to write serials which can be read without reading all the ones which came before. There's nothing more off-putting than a book you can't understand! I work in as many genres as possible and read anything I can get my hands on, but have an especial love of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Alexandre Dumas. They both understood stories should be fun. Primarily I enjoy exploring characters; and the best thing about continuing fiction is gradually changing characters with whom the reader can laugh and cry and love and hate. And finally I think every book has room for humour, especially when it's inappropriate. ...more

Aside from that, I'm thinking about plotting another detective story and redrafting a novel I wrote many years ago which I like to refer to as "Sleepless in Seattle meets the Iliad."

Apart from that, just kicking my feet really.(less)

I always take forever thinking up a new scenario, so I've found I work best in stories which use the same backdrop. It doesn't mean they're all interconnected or even feature the same characters. The dinosaur story I'm currently writing for instance is not connected with any of the others, but since the backdrop was already there, it means I can start writing without having to think too hard of where things are coming from. Which means, of course, I get to focus mainly on the characters, which is a plus.(less)
