17 years agoFifty books? That’s quite an achievement, congratulations Kate!! I’m always so fascinated by what goes on in authors’ minds. How do you come up with your ideas? Is it your characters or the plot that drives your story? Have you visited the locations in your books, or is it just lots of research? I think that’s all for now, but I will be back.

17 years agoHi Claudine
Thank you for your congratulations – I have to admit that I’m stunned to find myself at this total of 50. It doesn’t seem that long since I was just starting out. But I suppose I take each book one at a time and don’t think about trying to aim for what would once have seemed an impossible total.
You asked about my writing and my ideas. For me it’s always the characters that are the most important – I’m telling their stories so I need to know them really well. That way, sometimes the story will just flow from who they are rather than trying to find a complicated plot. Ideas come from all over the place – from a story I read in a newspaper of a magazine or watching a film or a ‘soap’, and thinking ‘I’d do that differently . . ‘ Or sometime s just one line will stick in my head and I’l wonder just what would have made someone say it. Really, people are just so fascinating that reading/watching/learning all about them creates ideas.
The places I write about? Well, I’ve been to some of them – Malta, Spain, France. . . But other places I do research on and study the cultures and – again – the people.
Thanks for coming by.
