I Do Try To Live Every Day

I Think You've Got To Play The Hand That You're Dealt And Stop Wishing For Another Hand.

Because I Saw My Parents Relaxing In Armchairs And Reading And Liking It, I Thought It Was A Peaceful Grown-up Thing To Do, And I Still Think That.

The Biggest Influence On My Books Was The Fact That I Had Worked In A Newspaper For So Long. In A Daily Paper, You Learn To Write Very Quickly; There Is No Time To Sit And Brood About What You Are Going To Say.

If I Had My Life To Live All Over Again, I Really Think I Would Have Been A Fit Person. Looking Around Me, I Realise That The Men And Women Who Walked And Ran And Swam And Played Sport Look Better And Feel Better Than The Rest Of Us.

I Love Thriller Writers. My Favourites Are Harlan Coban, Lee Child, Ian Rankin, Kathy Reichs And Ed Mcbain.
