![]() ![]() I absolutely love getting lost in the stacks there and finding some title on a shelf about astronomy or the French Revolution or whatever! ![]() It is my favourite place in the whole world. It was founded by Tennyson and Carlyle and has over three million books. ![]() I write in the London Library in Piccadilly. It’s depressing to think how many women have been unable to write and abandoned projects because of the pram in the hallway. If this sounds boring, it is - it takes so much organisation and I’ve had to be quite firm with myself about carving out time to write. In the last year we've had a childminder who picks the kids up twice a week and that has given me so much more freedom to have a full writing day. I work four days a week at the moment and have to snatch half days here and there depending on if I’m doing pick-up. I drop one child off at school and go to the library. Funnily enough, now I have children of my own I can reread all of these except Enid Blyton, whom I adored but now find a bit ‘thin’. ![]() Anything that created a world you were utterly absorbed in. I absolutely loved Enid Blyton, CS Lewis, Lorna Hill’s Ballet School books, Noel Streatfeild. Who were your literary influences and heroes as you were growing up? She worked in publishing before becoming an author Her ten bestselling novels include A Place for Us, Going Home and Love Always. ![]()
