They Stared At Each Other, Wanting Each

I Can't Tell You Any More Than Any Other Writer Can Tell You Why They Write, And I Don't Know What My Influences Are.

I Had An Idea For A Story About A Young Woman Who Was Living With People Who Were Different, Not Just Superficially Different - Such As Hair Colour, Or Eye Colour, Or Skin Colour - But Different In Some Significant Way.

The Idea Led Me Into The Research, Which Continues To Give Me More Ideas For The Story.

I Don't Write For Publishers, Certainly Not For Critics, And Not For Readers, But I Am Delighted That So Many People Have Found My Books Enjoyable And Want To Continue To Read Them.

I Started Writing To Please Myself, A Story I Would Like To Read, And That Is Still True.
