When you commit a serious doping offence you are not eligible for lottery funding.

You look out on the driving range and it looks like snow, but it isn't, it's covered in golf balls.

The older I get, the more I seek to use a plain prose style, concentrating more on story.

If I had the luxury of working as a full time writer, I think you would see novels appearing on a much more regular, and frequent, basis.

People of this teenager's age are on the brink of adulthood and have to be allowed a greater degree of responsibility. A consequence of this is a decrease in parental responsibility. Therefore to have criminal responsibility for what you don't know about seems rather extreme.

I have a backlog of novels which I would love to be working on and would be working on if I were not obliged to hold down a full time job.

I don't see myself as experimenting in any conscious way, it's perhaps that certain books require different densities of language.
