Q&A
As a child, I wanted to be an actor, a writer, a dancer, a teacher and an archaeologist. Now, I’m a writer and a teacher…so I suppose two out of five is not bad!
I first started writing when I was at primary school. I used to write magazines for my friends (whether they liked it or not) and my father had the rather tedious job of photocopying multiple copies at work (whether he liked it or not). Apart from that, when my friends would come round to play, we would put on shows and I used to write the scripts for each production.
I don’t really know…they just come into my head. Although sometimes my ideas wake me up in the middle of the night and I have to jump out of bed and write them down straightaway, before I forget!
Never give up! It doesn’t matter how long you try and how old you get. If you believe you can do something…one day you WILL succeed.
My favourite subject was history. And I still love it today…especially ancient history.
My favourite drink is definitely a nice cup of tea (well come on…I am English!).
Yes. I’ve got three dogs: Lucy, Rocky and Luna.
My favourite book of all time is THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE by C. S. Lewis. Incidentally, my dog ‘Lucy’ is named after the child ‘Lucy’, my favourite character in the book.
I’m really good at tap dancing. In fact, I can do a tap-dancing TIME STEP really fast while sitting down on a chair!
Creative, funny and serious.
