I was born in North London in 1947. I didn't learn to read until I was almost 8-partly bad schooling, and partly I suspect slight dyslexic problems. My father, driven mad by this, taught me to read. At 9 I began writing.

At an early school, when I was about 5, they asked what we wanted to be when we grew up. Everyone said silly things, and I said I wanted to be an actress. So that was what I wanted to be, but what I was, of course, was a writer.

I will admit to a pleasure and sense of hope in what I see as the basic teachings of Christ, stripped of the nonsense that has sometimes been accumulated about them and the embarrassing misunderstanding.

In whatever form, or by whatever means, everyone has the right to develop or transform-providing this hurts no one else in any life-threatening way.

I never know where I am going, though. That is part of what makes it so wonderful. And after all, who does?

I like time to struggle with my characters and plotlines... but then, when you want to do something, you seize it.

I was very influenced when I was young by the epics like Ben Hur, Spartacus, and most of Cecil B De Mille's films.

I don't have specific aims. Only to keep writing. I need more time, as I said, perhaps 25 hours in a day would be helpful.

Locality is, in my case, unimportant. My mind and heart go where they wish.

We need the expressive arts, the ancient scribes, the storytellers, the priests.

But all lives are important, all people are important, because everyone is a book. Some people just have easier access to it.

I like writing about women, weak and strong, pathetic and heroic. I like writing about men, ditto. And all the variants of men and women, beasts and demons.

I just love writing. It's magical, it's somewhere else to go, it's somewhere much more dreadful, somewhere much more exciting. Somewhere I feel I belong, possibly more than in the so-called real world.

I rather like turning all stories around.

An editor suggested to me I might try contemporary horror. At first this didn't appeal - then the idea arrived.

I work when I can and feel able to, but that is still most days.
