Tell us about your writing background.
Oh, goodness, I think I have always scribbled. When I was little I wrote stories about the family dog having adventures in a magical land. Then came school and college, writing for the circulars – anything that was going. Actual publication came much later with stories in pony magazines and a first children’s novel accepted by J.A. Allen. My first adult novel was taken by Robert Hale and the rest went from there. Short story work has always been a pleasure and is excellent writing discipline. I must have contributed to every women’s and children’s pony periodical in the market over the years, and met some great people along the way. D. C. Thomson’s wonderful Bill Balnave was one. It was Bill who encouraged me to broaden my scope. This all sounds straightforward. It wasn’t. But once bitten by the writing bug the itch does not go away.
