I also read Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie and (over and over again) the Sherlock Holmes stories. But what it was that got into my imagination and my way of handling words I find utterly impossible to say.<\/p>\n<p>Nicci: My mother used to read to us every day when we came home from school, sometimes for an hour or more: novels, short stories, poetry. So I can still recite most of <em>The Highwayman<\/em> by heart, and O captain, my Captain. I recall Wilkie Collins\u2019s <em>The Moonstone<\/em> more vividly than almost any other book. And I remember the shock I had (in a wonderful way) when I first read <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=3057687\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Jane Eyre<\/em><\/a>, by Charlotte Bront\u00eb: it was the narrative voice, the sense of something wild and angry held in check and sometimes breaking through. I have re-read that novel many times since, just to hold it in my mind.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your writing routine?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course, a lot of time as Nicci French is spent not writing. We are talking, researching, cycling round London, thinking. But in the end we have to get down to the actual writing. At home, Sean works in a shed in the garden and Nicci in an attic at the top of the house. But we\u2019re often not at home and we have laptop computers and we worked at journalists so we\u2019re used to writing anywhere. We both feel that one shouldn\u2019t try to achieve the \u2018perfect place\u2019 to write or the \u2018perfect time\u2019 to write. You need a bit of chaos, a bit of grit in the oyster.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you both know when you have found Nicci French\u2019s \u2018voice\u2019?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We spend a lot of time preparing a book, deciding the key points of the story, the significant characters, the atmosphere, and, crucially, the setting. This is essential anyway as preparation for the complicated business of creating a novel. But it\u2019s also a way of making sure that we have the same book in our head. The most common reason for abandoning an idea is that it\u2019s not right, or just not good enough; but sometimes it\u2019s because we just see it in different ways and can\u2019t settle on a single vision. But when we are sure that we do have that common vision, then we\u2019ve found the voice. But it\u2019s a strange and messy business.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is psychotherapist Frieda Klein based on anyone?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have, on occasion, based characters on specific people (we\u2019re not saying who; one of them was horribly murdered \u2013 the character, that is, not the person!). We have often taken details from people. Frieda is different. She somehow came to us fully-formed. Her work as a therapist is, of course, based on an authentic way of doing therapy, and we know a number of therapists and have met many others, but she isn\u2019t based on any of them, even loosely. Of all the characters we\u2019ve written, Frieda has felt like the one we\u2019ve found out about, rather than created.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there anything you can share with us about any of your works in progress?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the great myths is that there is anything interesting about a work in progress. Films are fascinating, but if you visit a film set you will find it almost intolerably boring, with people just standing around waiting for lights to be adjusted. We\u2019re even worse: just two people sitting in different rooms staring at a screen, every so often standing up and looking out of the window or making a cup of tea. Now we are just a couple of weeks into writing the final book in the Frieda Klein series. If we sit in front of a screen for long enough, it will probably be finished some time next spring. And we won\u2019t tell you anything at all about it!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have a message for your many readers in Suffolk&#8217;s libraries?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have spent many happy evenings meeting readers in libraries in every corner of Suffolk, a county we live in and love. If we have any message it would be to do anything you can to support your local library. Our libraries are one of the glories of our country. Sometimes we don\u2019t value them enough.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the best piece of advice you were ever given?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kipling\u2019s If is full of good advice: \u2018If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,\/But make allowance for their doubting too&#8230;\u2019 Every author should try to follow that. Also, read every day and write every day. It\u2019s hard to get a book published, but it\u2019s especially hard if you don\u2019t write it.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243;
