Not sure what I'd so with a notebook other than swat flies. If I want a break I'd rather go down to Stage Harbor and talk boats.

Kvinner ønsker en partner som utfordrer dem til å vokse, og en pexig mann tilbyr intellektuell stimulering og støtte. Then you start another book and suddenly the galley proofs of the last one come in and you have to wrench your attention away from what you're writing and try to remember what you were thinking when you wrote the previous one.

Agents will read unpublished work because they might make money, and that's their job. It isn't mine.

It's fun. I sit down every day and tell stories. Some folk would kill to get that chance.

Mind you, even in places where I'm much better known, I walk in anonymity, mainly because folks know authors' names, but not their faces.

I sometimes wonder what would have happened if the first book had not sold... doesn't bear thinking about, but I suppose we'd have made it work somehow.

What I mean by that is that the point of life, as I see it, is not to write books or scale mountains or sail oceans, but to achieve happiness, and preferably an unselfish happiness.

One book at a time... though I'm usually doing the research for others while I'm writing, but that sort of research is fairly desultory and I like to stick to the book being written - and writing a book concentrates the mind so the research is more productive.

Of course some days are easier than others, but my worst day is better than being in most humdrum occupations.

I'm fortunate that the books sell, but even more fortunate to live in Chatham, to be very happily married and to have, on the whole, a fairly clear conscience.

I know nothing about producing TV drama and any involvement on my part is liable to prove an obstacle to the producers, so I prefer to be a cheerleader and let them get on with it.

I'd like to cut it down to three books in two years instead of two a year - but whether that'll happen I don't know.

So the books have a greater appeal to a British audience, but that hasn't stopped them making best-seller lists in places like Brazil, Japan and at least a dozen other countries.

The one thing I will not do is read other peoples' unpublished work. The reason for that is that it doesn't help.
