The other writer who had a very important early influence on me when I was about 17 was C.S. Lewis.

America does influence my work, also France, Europe generally, the East and India.

I've also done contemporary novels, a detective novel, which is coming out soon, and lesbian fiction.

I have to write longhand, and no one can read my writing, I have to type my own manuscripts, because I'm going almost in a zigzag, across and then down.

I was reading some complex books in my own youth-and no, I didn't always understand every word, let alone every concept-but I got the main thrust, which was like a lifeline in a fluctuating world.

I'm writing what comes into my head, or through me, or from somewhere else, and it is the most extraordinary, exciting thing. I love it, and I'm very greedy, and I really enjoy it!

I started a version of my French historical novel... I found it utterly fascinating.

I used to work all hours of day and night, but changes in my life and physical stamina have meant that now I rarely work so long as I did-4 in the morning was a reasonable time to me, for finishing up. That isn't in my range any more.

When I am fascinated by something, I like to play with it.

We are all people, and all have different ages. No difference at all, except the censoring-I don't like to put too much horror in for younger children, and obviously sex has to be contained in a sensible way.

Pirates have always fascinated me.

There are the characters who die but who you follow after death, and they often lead much more interesting lives after they are dead! So the characters usually drive me along, but occasionally the plot has to come first. It can get sticky.

I love writers all across the board, but one who influenced me very directly at the beginning was Mary Renault.

If I can't see something enough, I shut my eyes and look at it, and I there.

I'm a devotee of Dracula, which was a pathfinder in horror and vampire fiction.

It's very selfish when I write. I'm not aware, ever, of writing for another person; I'm not even really aware of writing for myself.

When I started as a writer, I knew nothing about publishing-nothing about anything!

The one area that always enthuses me is the one I'm writing at that particular moment-but of course you do get an influx of other things you want to do, usually in the middle of an enormous novel.

I think of myself as a storyteller, and that is it.

I couldn't believe someone had produced literature that was like an entirely new language, beautiful stuff. Graham Greene, everything. William Golding.
