![]() If something is written with style and care for the beauty of words I'll read it though I doubt whether it seeps in. My influences have neither rhyme nor reason. Name your writing influences (writers, books, teachers, etc.). Only later has it become harder simply because publishing has changed so much and there are so many new writers willing to provide those cans of beans every publisher needs to survive. I was immensely lucky when I started because all my first work was accepted, plays, novels, tv scripts and so on. Alan Boon saved my life and that of my two little daughters, god rest him. I went on to write plays in my teens and twenties and only later, out of financial necessity, wrote contemporary romance. No Latin at that age, unlike Queen Elizabeth Tudor so where did I get that from? My family were extremely unbookish. I used to write on a little writing pad with Magnum Opus on the front. Ever since I realised that the squiggles on a page told a story I've written stories myself. ![]()
