Describe your desk
My desk is always littered with scribbled notes and used coffee cups.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I was raised in a small Yorkshire town in the UK. My home town has a strong industrial heritage but a few minutes away from the densly populated areas are the wide skies and rolling green hills that Yorkshire is famous for.
I've lived in many places, including Belgium, Germany, and the South of England. I've visited many countries, from Australia to America and Canada, but I wouldn't live anywhere else. Yorkshire is such a beautiful place.
I love to write about the area and Yorkshire features strongly in many of my books.
