I Write Fiction. I Make Things Up,

Any Story You Write About War, Or Film You Make About War, Is Bound To Be Political Whether You Like It Or Not.

As A Young Child My Attention Span Was, As I Remember It, Rather Short.

We Have Bodies Coming Home And Coffins Covered In Flags, Not Just In The Uk But World-wide.

When I Write I Try As Far As Possible To Forget I'm Writing It At All. I Tell It Down Onto The Page, As If I'm Telling It To One Person Only, My Best Friend.

I'm Still Not Sure I Want To Be A Writer. I Think Of Myself As A Storyteller More.
