What are you most looking forward to at the 2016 Festival? The excitement and the buzz! When did you realise you wanted to be a writer? It was a natural progression from actor / storyteller to writer What book do you find yourself re-reading most often? I don’t usually make time to read the same book more than once because there are so many books I want to read, but I have re-visited a few, and The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay always inspires and empowers me. If you weren’t a writer, what would you be? A wildlife broadcaster in the footsteps of the great Sir David Attenborough! And finally, we have a number of aspiring writers attending the Festival. What one piece of advice would you give them? Keep your eyes and ears open and be observant!
