I Think I'm Brave Because I've Made

I Try To Make My Characters Kind Of Ordinary, Somebody That Anybody Could Be. Because We've All Had Loves, Perhaps Love And Loss, People Can Relate To My Characters.

I'm An Escapist Kind Of Writer.

I've Been Very Lucky And I Have A Happy Old Age With Good Family And Friends Still Around.

If I Had My Life To Live All Over Again, I Really Think I Would Have Been A Fit Person. Looking Around Me, I Realise That The Men And Women Who Walked And Ran And Swam And Played Sport Look Better And Feel Better Than The Rest Of Us.

When My Sister Joan Arrived, I Asked If I Could Swap Her For A Rabbit. When I Think What A Marvellous Friend She's Been, I'm So Glad My Parents Didn't Take Me At My Word.
