New Zealand Is The Only

I've Never Actually Been A Fighter Myself - Fighting Tires Me Out And I'm Not An Efficient Fighter Anyway - But I Have Certainly Seen Other People Have Great Complicated Goes At One Another.

My Theory Is That I Decided To Be A Writer When I Was About Seven, But Of Course It Is Not As Simple As That. Like Most Writers, I Had To Work At Other Things To Earn A Living And Wrote Mainly In The Evenings, Often Very Late At Night, For Many Years.

The Novels Take Longer To Write Than The Picture Book Texts, And They Do Take A Different Sort Of Concentration. However, A Very Short, Simple Story That Works Well Is Just As Exciting To Me As Any Longer And More Complex Book.

New Zealand Is The Only Country I Know Well Enough To Write About. It Can Sometimes Lead To Complications.

I Don't Want To Die, Really. I'm Interested In What Happens Next, So I've Got To Keep On.
