I was firmly convinced that I decided to become an author at the age of seven, after reading Kipling's Jungle Books - until I was talking to my aunt recently.
She told me that she remembered me marching up to her and my grandmother, putting my hands on my hips and announcing,'When I grow up I'm going to be a writer!'
"You were four,"she said.
Whether four or seven when I made the decision, I never wavered thereafter. I have always been single-minded. But bloody-minded single-mindedness is an essential quality in a writer. Without it, you probably wouldn't even finish a first draft.
My father signed my first publishing contract, because I was 16, and under-age. I'd have been fairly happy if that had been my one and only book. But luck was with me, and I've gone on to publish something like 60 books, for different ages and in different genres; and am now self-publishing on Kindle - something that wasn't even envisaged in science-fiction when my first book came out. Life remains interesting!

Paul loves beautiful girls and poetry.
And he's courageous enough to recite sonnets to the Hell's Angels in the Hailstone Inn.
So when Zione, black and gorgeous, appears in his audience, he's well pleased. When she invites him into the yard, he doesn't hesitate.
But in the yard, Zione calls up green fire and things become very strange... Waking in a strange bed is, for him, nothing new but he's never found himself sharing one with a dragon before. A small dragon, but still. A dragon.
It turns out Zione is a sorceress and she's kidnapped Paul to perform poetry for a big poetry lover. A very big poetry lover.
A poetry lover who's devoured almost the whole of the Oxford Book of Poetry. In the most literal sense.
Can Paul survive the performance?
Can he win back to his beloved lost world of pubs, pints and crisps?
A light-hearted fantasy of poetry, sorcery, dragons -- and wrapping paper.
