The Q&Q:
1) In one word, how would you describe your personality?Odd
2) What is your deepest desire?
For those I love to be happy3) Your greatest fear?
Something happening to my son and husband4) Your favourite colour?
I have two of which I am equally fond - any shade of either green or grey5) A song you can't help singing along with, every time you hear it?
American Pie - Don MaClean6) A movie that made you cry?
Captains Courageous starring Spencer Tracy and Freddie Bartholomew. No one will watch it with me as I start crying when the titles come up and don't stop all through the film.7) A book you have read more than five times? Or a book that influenced you the most?
"Heart of Darkness" by Conrad. The ultimate unreliable narrator and I do like unreliable narrators.8) From your own oeuvre: your favorite child?
Ben Larsson from "The Turning" as he is so unremittingly bloody minded - not without good cause.9) One thing you hate about being a writer?
Having to leave behind characters when I finish "their book" and start work on another .10) One thing no one knows about you (and now will)?
Some people are Star Wars or Star Trek geeks, I am a geek about the Norse (don't ever, ever call them Vikings!). I have been researching that period of history endlessly and there will be a book one day.
