You Say To Yourself: 'what Could People,

We Are All The Heroes And Heroines Of Our Own Lives. Our Love Stories Are Amazingly Romantic; Our Losses And Betrayals And Disappointments Are Gigantic In Our Own Minds.

I Had A Very Happy Childhood, Which Is Unsuitable If You're Going To Be An Irish Writer.

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

We're Nothing If We're Not Loved. When You Meet Somebody Who Is More Important To You Than Yourself, That Has To Be The Most Important Thing In Life, Really. And I Think We Are All Striving For It In Different Ways. I Also Believe Very, Very Strongly That Everybody Is The Hero/heroine Of His/her Own Life. I Try To Make My Characters Kind Of Ordinary, Somebody That Anybody Could Be. Because We've All Had Loves, Perhaps Love And Loss, People Can Relate To My Characters

My Memory Of My Home Was That It Was Very Happy, And That There Was More Fun And Life There Than There Was Anywhere Else.
