When did you first start writing?
As a young child, I recall handwriting short 'books', binding them with wool or string (and sometimes illustrating them), and then trying to sell them to family members. I used to make family members sit and listen to me read them aloud too. I must have been an annoying child in that sense!
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Gosh, no. That was too long ago as a very young child. The first story I ever completed and had published, though, was Mantis, which was published in South Africa's Something Wicked horror magazine.
