Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
The earliest book I remember reading for myself was 'The Last Battle' - the final part of the 'Narnia' chronicles by C.S.Lewis. My Dad used to read me these when I was very small. I can't really begin to describe the impact the whole thing had upon me, it's just such a great work throughout that makes you really think about . . well, everything!
When did you first start writing?
This is an interesting one to answer. Although I'd 'dabbled' - (I wrote stories as a child and teenager), I didn't really write anything serious until I hit my second half century.
Music is my greatest passion, - serious classical music. I have written many piano pieces. Also, my entire family seems to possess strong artistic talent with my father having been somewhat distinguished and successful as a watercolour artist. I have a few works to my name and have created some wall murals in my time as well as fine art paintings.
For me, writing is part of the creative jigsaw. I am a creative person, writing is something I do whenI have something to tell people about.
