I am just about to begin your book, I can't believe you live in Saddleworth!! I do too I have lived here for 17 years!! Isnt it a beautiful place, where is your favourite place in Saddleworth and do you disappear into the hills to write?

Hi Claire. I'm originally from Oldham (Werneth) and moved her 11 years ago. I love it here! My favourite thing to do is to walk along the canal on both rainy or sunny days, to head into Uppermill for a nice lunch. I wrote my book on the train from Greenfield to Manchester, when I worked in the city centre. I left my job last year and it will be nice to try writing in the hills when the weather gets nicer. Hope you enjoy the book :-)

I loved the piles of things that Martha Storm agreed to for others. Planning on reading all of your books. I could have chosen a path like Martha did in taking care of her parents. It would have been for the rest of my life so am grateful that I did not do it. I had an Aunt who took care of her mother until death. She did her duty and long sad story. ... My aunt Martha! What do you think about that situation?

Hi Phaedra, I loved your book The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper, I was wondering if you could answer three to five questions (much like the ones listed below) that I could send you. I'd be happy to put them on my blog then, I want EVERYONE to meet Arthur Pepper. Would that be okay?
