When I did English A Level I was introduced to Emily Bront\u00eb and Thomas Hardy. I still love Thomas Hardy and often re-read his novels \u2013 recently I re-read <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=1608441\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Mayor of Casterbridge<\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=163156\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Return of the Native<\/em><\/a>. My friend Nicola and I went on a Hardy tour around Dorchester. It\u2019s a fascinating thing to do, especially if you know his books. I\u2019ve always enjoyed the way Hardy handles Fate and circumstances colluding to affect the paths people take. And he created fabulous characters who were well rounded \u2013 fallible and loveable and misunderstood all at the same time. He\u2019s always thought of as quite gloomy \u2013 but actually Hardy\u2019s comedy characters are hilarious!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did your creative process differ when you sat down to write <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=2549726\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>Never Greener<\/strong><\/em><\/a> compared to your TV work? Did you find there are different rules for both, or are they character driven?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think my TV writing tends to be character driven and I guess I\u2019d say the same about novel writing. I\u2019m finding this particularly with the second book I\u2019m writing, which is about three lifelong friends. In terms of different rules for the two different disciplines, with TV there are more restrictions with the length of the script because it has to fit into a scheduled slot. There are also budgetary restrictions which may affect locations and cast, so sometimes a TV script has to be adjusted to accommodate elements like that. With a novel there\u2019s far more flexibility \u2013 and I also love the fact that I can go inside the heads of my characters, which is difficult to do on TV other than through using voiceover. Novels, like radio plays, give you more freedom to go wherever you want to \u2013 and rely totally on the imagination of the reader to conjure up situations and characters. I love that there\u2019s more room for interpretation via the minds of the reader.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your two main characters in <em>Never Greener<\/em><\/a>, Kate and Callum, are not really likeable. They leave a trail of hurt behind them but the reader still has to find out what happens to them. Was it difficult to keep that balance throughout?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, obviously I\u2019m going to disagree about Kate and Callum not being likeable. They don\u2019t behave well, that\u2019s true, and there are certainly hurtful consequences to their actions. But think they redeem themselves in the end. And do the time for the crime. Like with Hardy, I do love fallible characters \u2013 none of us is perfect after all. Certainly with Kate, I think we discover why she\u2019s like she is \u2013 which doesn\u2019t excuse what she does, but it does explain it. They are also living in a world peopled by the innocent victims of their actions \u2013 e.g. Belinda (who\u2019s my favourite!) and Matt. And I think this helps balance things.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you ever get time to read? What is on your &#8216;to read&#8217; pile at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love reading more and more as I get older. In fact I enjoy it more than watching TV. My sister is often recommending books to me \u2013 recently I read <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=2011808\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Ice Twins<\/em><\/a>, by S. K. Tremayne which was SO tense, and hauntingly atmospheric. She also recommended Karen Campbell\u2019s police thriller <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=300373\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Twilight Time<\/em><\/a> \u2013 which is not a genre I would normally read, but I was gripped. It\u2019s set in Glasgow and her writing is so detailed and her characterisation fresh and surprising. I also loved <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=2581085\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Sweet Sorrow<\/em><\/a>, by David Nicholls \u2013 he has such an incredible skill in conjuring nostalgia and has written a beautifully unpredictable and raw love story. <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=2597464\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>If Only I Could Tell You<\/em><\/a> by Hannah Beckerman is a stunning book \u2013 she captures the nuances of family dynamics so well, and keeps you gripped by the unravelling of a secret&#8230; I love books like that.<\/p>\n<p>Which is why I also love Adele Parks \u2013 she keeps you on the edge of your seat and has a knack of coming up with huge moral dilemmas. Her<a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=303565\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em> Love Lies<\/em><\/a> is superb. I\u2019m currently reading Graham Norton\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=2443683\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>A Keeper<\/em><\/a>, I love his writing. And before that I read a BRILLIANT debut novel, <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=2579387\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Train Man<\/em><\/a> by Andrew Mulligan \u2013 oh my days, I can\u2019t recommend it highly enough. It\u2019s profoundly affecting \u2013 one of those \u2018stays with you\u2019 books. Deftly crafted, with a fascinating central character whose story you just HAVE to know more about. He doesn\u2019t shy away from the darkness in humankind, but equally he celebrates our propensity to be compassionate. And I\u2019m a massive Jojo Moyes fan \u2013 so I can\u2019t wait to read her new novel when it comes out. Other writers I love are Kate Atkinson and Isabelle Allende.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>You are visiting Suffolk in November to speak at the Lavenham Literary Festival. Can you give us a taste of what to expect?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m really looking forward to coming to Lavenham. I first went there years ago with my husband who knows the area well. I fell in love with the town and I can\u2019t wait to come back. The evening will be quite laid back I think \u2013 a sort of &#8216;evening with&#8217;. It\u2019s great because I get to talk with the audience and they get to ask me questions&#8230; I love talking about the book and the writing process, and especially getting feedback from people who\u2019ve read <em>Never Greener<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>You have been interviewed many times. Can you tell us one thing your readers and viewers may not know?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll give you three facts about myself that people probably don\u2019t know: I was once a Girl Guide, I love
