Whenever I try to plan a novel I usually end up not wanting to write it because I already know everything that's going to happen! I guess my first draft is my plan - that's my version of telling myself the story. It usually takes me a few months to write the first draft, then I work on the detail and flesh out the characters.(less)

Book Signing!

You lucky, LUCKY things! What an opportunity!


On Saturday 25th November, I will be in Waterstones Durham from 11am � 2pm signing books and skulking about. So if you’ve finished reading the latest Philip Pullman, you’re done with Potter, had enough of Horowitz, read the celebs, and you’re just plain sick of Walliams, then why not come along and say hello?

“Human nature is human nature. We subject ourselves to things we know we might not be able to endure. We do it to test ourselves, to scratch an itch, to punish ourselves. Whatever the reason, we can’t help but look at atrocity. Even if it’s only to reassure ourselves that our own life could always be worse. I”
