Read it in an afternoon/evening actually, including a break for eating my tea, and a break for going to Brownies.

I've put mine with the wristbands I got after each lap of my 6 mile sport relief run. Don't think my boss would appreciate me wearing all the wristbands I'd like to because they mean something to me...

It was a brilliant weekend! Thank you so so much for all the work you put in. I've no idea how hard you were paddling, but from the surface everything went smoothly!
Thank you!

And she used to buy books to read to those children, and then when I came along they were read to me too. I brought a few of them with me when I moved out of home (with Mum's permission of course!) because I love them, a…

A friend had a copy of Flashman, and just from the spine I said 'Looks like a cross between Sharpe and Flash from Blackadder' and my friend said that's exactly what it was!

It adds to the depth of the character, in the same way as if she'd said 'Dumbledore was married in his youth but his wife was horribly killed in a boating accident'. It's not the being gay that's the big thing, for me an…

I didn't pick it up, as such, when I was reading the books

But now JK has said he's gay I've realised that I did sort of know, although I couldn't tell you anything specific that points to it. I can fully understand it not being made explicit (or even strongly hinted at) in a bo…

It's definitely more sci-fi than fantasy - there are no dragons, gnomes, fairies, or magic, but there is a futuristic science that sends people back in time.

They're different genres, people! I love fantasy, with dragons and dwarves and magic and stuff, but I'm not a big sci fi fan with all the space ships and robots and no magic at all. I've never really understood why sci f…

I'm a stealth releaser, I hate being watched and I can't stand the thought of someone saying 'Is this book yours?'. So a lot of my releases are in ladies' toilets, or on benches where I can sit and 'accidentally' leave t…
