I woke up last night and thought: 'I must call somebody in my next novel Casablanca.' It's such a great name. I don't want to call anybody Fred or Jane or Susan, so when three people get into bed together, you don't know who they are.

I don't plan my books. I don't know what's going to happen. That's why I could pick up any one of my 30 books and I could continue the story on.

Where was Paris Hilton a year ago? She's a fabulous character to write about.

I managed to take a family trip to the Bahamas and it was quite lovely.
