London Has Always Provided The Landscape For My Imagination. It Becomes A Character - A Living Being - Within Each Of My Books.

London Goes Beyond Any Boundary Or Convention.it Contains Every Wish Or Word Ever Spoken, Every Action Or Gesture Ever Made, Every Harsh Or Noble Statement Ever Expressed. It Is Illimitable. It Is Infinite London.
