Man was nature&#39;s mistake she neglected to finish him and she has never ceased paying for her mistake.

For isn't the artist by nature a revolutionary?

I started on the fringes of journalism as a cartoonist on The Daily Mail.

What mattered was writing it: the act of words.

He’d never seen a rain quite like this so gentle that it seemed barely to fall yet slowly laid its shine on the bay leaves and hydrangea flowers…

So history is fertile territory for me and I think I could feel happy with any period of history, provided I had the right sources and the necessary time for the initial research.

I have likened writing a novel to going on a journey, with some notion of the destination I will arrive at, but not the whole picture - which emerges gradually as a series of revelations, as the journey goes along.

I&#39;m not very interested in charting a day-to-day familiar reality. I&#39;m always looking for territory in which to explore the BIG subjects, the life-or-death stories.

Perhaps, all writers walk such a line. In general - as we all do in our dreams - I believe I put something of myself into all the characters in my novels, male as well as female.

The unfolding of a story is both as exciting and as difficult for each and every novel I&#39;ve written, regardless of time and place.
