All Writers Are Thieves; Theft Is A

I Am Not A Victim. I Am An Angry Survivor.

I Wanted To Be A War Reporter - Scrabbling Around, Exposing Things. I Didn't Want To Go To University, I Wanted To Get A Job, But Auntie Beryl Said I Should Go To Oxford.

I Would Hate To Live In The Country, Unless I Was Living On A Farm.

A Writer's Work May Be A Coded Autobiography, But Only A Very Close Friend Could Decipher It.

I Grew Up On A Suburban Street With Lace Curtains And Dull Neighbours, So I Made Up Stories To Tell My Friend, In Which They Became Serial Killers And Burglars. She Told Her Mother, Who Then Told Mine.
