Phil Rickman tops my list and if you haven't yet discovered him, check out the website www.philrickman.co.uk. This guy is pure talent and he's totally home-grown, too. Favourite books by other authors include The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Wuthering Heights, A Fatal Inversion (Barbara Vine), selected biographies, mind/body/spirit books, anything by Emma Restall Orr (my spiritual inspiration), books about the supernatural, all of M R James, and, er, puzzle books. Heavily into works by the late, great Robert Westall who wrote such brilliant books for older children. Some of his books number among my all time favourite reading material. Somewhere along the line I just never grew up. Good!
My dog, Jack the Whippet! How he puts up with me I don't know but he always has a waggy rear end and lots of licks and athletic leaps waiting for me when I come home,plus he keeps me warm at night. I truly admire the brave in spirit. By name: Emma Restall Orr for her strength, her wisdom, her beauty and her inspiration; my dear friend Pauly T for never judging, for making me laugh when I am down, for being the best friend a girl could ever have; and lastly but by absolutely no means least, my wonderful husband and soul mate Geoff who needs no qualification - he is simply the best thing that has ever happened to me (evenif he is totally mad at times!).
