@TheFriendMag I ADORE the book, The Princess Bride, by William Goldman, and feared the film would disappoint, but it, too, is a classic in its own, different way, and I really love it as well.

@TheFriendMag I'll be hated for saying this by the true fans, but I prefer the Peter Jackson LOTR films to Tolkien's books. They cut out so much of the seemingly endless history and battles. The films are so good too (extended DVD versions obviously)

@TheFriendMag Not really, but I do find it easier to write my next year's Christmas short stories at Christmas rather than, say, at Easter!

@TheFriendMag Too hard! I think readers perceive characters in different ways. Even I have been surprised by the way some of my characters are perceived - not in the way I imagined them to be.

@TheFriendMag There are so many good period dramas that no-one has touched for years. I'd happily watch one of those, providing it is historically accurate.

Q.4 There's about to be another TV adaptation of 'Pride and Prejudice'. Do you think there have been too many of the same sort of thing? #PFWritingHour

@TheFriendMag I've had my paid career. For me, writing's about reaching people with my stories and making them smile. I reach more people with a story in @TheFriendMag than I ever would if I tried to market a book myself. Then, one word of praise about a story is worth more than money.

@TheFriendMag I wrote one about the heartbreaking decision to place my mum into a residential home when her dementia became too severe for me to cope with. I focused on the lighter side of it all, which is what my mum would have wished. Without her, I would not be writing now.

@TheFriendMag Good morning. Getting a new pup today! Hard work I know but hopefully worth it.

@TheFriendMag I can spot an Ai' picture and video (at the moment). I'm hoping it will always be like 'I can't believe it's not butter'.

Q.3 If you could go back to the start of your writing journey and give yourself one piece of advice, what would it be? #PFWritingHour

@TheFriendMag I don't. The only time I might dip into one is for research but if I'm reading for pleasure I would never choose a biography. However, I would watch a documentary about anyone.

@TheFriendMag No, unless you count the bedroom. I usually read in the evenings and mornings, with a cup of tea.

@TheFriendMag If it's for @TheFriendMag I don't really think about it much, because it's usually changed. Other books have their titles changed over and over until I'm happy. I once spent three weeks working on a title for a children's musical.
