My mum always claimed that when she lived in America for a year, my dad wrote to her every day and, in one of his letters, proposed. My dad denied this. But when she got home they got married anyway. In 1966 they emigrated to Canada. Theyd wanted to go to New Zealand, but it was full.
I was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, which, by all accounts, is very cold. And also hot. But when I was four months old, my parents moved back to the UK.
When I was 18 I moved to London and, a few years later - after meeting and falling in love with a fellow northerner - moved back up north. Now we live in Lancashire (which is lovely, particularly when its not raining. Which is about two weeks a year) with our two ridiculously gorgeous sons and a pug. Okay, we havent got a pug, but maybe if I write it here it will come true. If you write it, pugs will come.
Ive been writing stories for as long as I can remember (I spent much of my teen years writing stories about George Michael falling in love with me so Ive obviously always had a good imagination), but I didnt write a novel until 2004 when I took part in National Novel Writing Month. I havent quite finished that one yet (!), but I have finished a few others.
I now write full time and I think its probably the best job in the world. Although if George Clooney is ever looking for an underpant-wrangler, Ill probably apply.Read Less
