Journalism Is A Darwinian Process.

I Grew Up In London Under Thatcher And That Really Was Disgusting. A Feeding Frenzy.

Because I Write A Book A Year, I Always Want To Do One Other Project Every Year That's Stimulating In A Different Way. It Means You Can Be Working But Not Using Up Your Prose Juice, You Know?

I Have Two Children. They Are More Fun Than Anything In The World, And It's More Immediate Fun Than The Hard Slog Of Writing.

Usually When I'm Trying To Establish Character, I Try And Find Out Where They Live.

In My Heart Im Just A Lucky Waitress.
