The Face Of Totalitarianism Turned Out To

Painting Is A Matter Of Finding The Right Balance Between Consoling And Reassuring The Eye And Challenging And Disturbing The Eye.

The Most Terrifying Thing I Can Think Of Is Being Alone - And I Mean Utterly Alone, Like No One Else In The World Alone - At Night. That's The Nucleus Of The First Story In My Collection And It's Also Where The Title Came From For The Book.

As For Goals, I Don't Set Myself Those Anymore. I'm Not One Of These 'i Must Have Achieved This And That By Next Year' Kind Of Writers. I Take Things As They Come And Find That Patience And Persistence Tend To Win Out In The End.

I'm Fortunate In That I'm A Lecturer Too And This Gets Me Out And About And Away From The Computer. I Also Have Loads Of Friends All Around The World, Plus A Core Group Of Special People In My Life That I Can Lean On, Chat To, Or Just Hang With.

I Believe That, Like Most Writers, My Personality Comes Through In The Fiction. So In That Respect My Writing Can’t Be Like Any Other Author’s Really.
