 ‘I write to explore the world and possible worlds and to reimagine our lives. Writing can and does have such impact on us – sometimes changing actions, hearts and minds.

 ‘I admire a number of writers, amongst them Cormack McCarthy, Margaret Atwood and Sylvia Plath. I’m also an admirer of short stories – high on my list are Graham Mort, AJ Ashworth and Kevin Barry.’
