I'm An Escapist Kind Of

I Have An Irregular Heartbeat, So That Means A Fair Amount Of Medication - And I Have Blood Pressure Pills, Too, But No Vitamins Or Supplements.

I'm Particularly Fond Of Boned Chicken Breasts With A Little Garlic Under The Flesh And Cooked In A Casserole For 40 Minutes With A Jar Of Olives, Some Cherry Tomatoes And A Spoonful Of Olive Oil.

I'm Pleased To Have Outsold Great Writers. But I'm Not Insane - I Realize I Am A Writer People Buy To Take On Vacation.

If I See Marian Keyes' Books Or Patricia Scanlan's Books Given More Prominence Than Mine In The Bookstore, I'll Move Mine To The Front. I've Told Them I Do This, And They've Confessed To Doing The Same Thing To Me.

I Thought It Must Be Desperate To Be Old. To Wake Up In The Morning And Remember That You Were Ancient - And So Behave That Way. I Thought Old People Were Full Of Aches And Pains And Horrible Illnesses.
