How do you feel about The Madams now that you’ve had a few months to get used to it being published?
I am still amused by it and annoy visitors to my house who have not bought a copy of it yet by egotistically reading quotes.

When did you first start writing?
Five. Isn’t that about the age that everyone starts?

What do you love most about writing?
With the medium of fiction, it’s the freedom it gives me to say things that are considered tactless by polite society.

Tell us a little about when and where you write?
In my bedroom, on my PC. I usually wake up around eleven at night and write until the early hours of the morning.
