I grew up in Tehran though we came to London almost every Summer. I had a fairly miserable childhood in some ways so my imagination, imaginative world was very important in conquering some of the boredom and misery. I started making up stories very early though I came to reading when I was eleven starting with Dr Who books but soon I was reading Frederick Forsyth and by about fourteen I was into Hemingway and Steinbeck. I was always in bookshops as a teen so now I try not to spend too much time in them. I honestly thought writing would 'pay' when I started writing at thirteen but my twenties I wasted on songwriting. It's taken a lot to get back to where I was in my teen years when for a time I used to write three short stories a night.

See the previous answer. Though now I see I did write screenplays in my twenties and of course Can You Help Me?
