Q. When did you start writing?

A. I was nine years old when I read my first story out loud in class at school.  I know I was writing before that, but can't remember for how long.  I do know though that at the age of three I was standing at the garden fence making up stories for the big children next door.  If you want to know what I looked like then - or even what the fence looked like! - take a look at the photo in the 'About' section.
