Has your interaction with fans, for example, at conventions, affected your work?

Is there any particular incident (a letter, a meeting, a comment that stands out?

yes... the woman who came up to me and said that my sex scenes had improved her own sex life (I had a quick rummage through my memory and can't account for this) and the several persons who have said that my books comforted them when they were sick or grieving. That was a great honour..

When feeling terrible I re-read the Lord of the Rings. When in need of detective story inspiration I read Dorothy Sayers. I watch Bladerunner. Or Tom Baker's Doctor Who.

Who would you most like to be trapped in a lift with?

Herodotus (the ancient Greek historian)

Who would you most DISlike to be trapped in a lift with?

Peter Reith, unless I had a serviceable iron bar with me. Or Elmore Leonard.

What would you pack for space? (Is there a food, beverage, book, teddy bear, etc that you couldn't do without?)

The Lord of the Rings, a box of Haigh's chocolates, a bottle of Laphraiog Whisky and my teddy bear, Valentine.

What is the most important thing you would like to get/achieve from your work?

I have a mission to amuse, as well as possibly to elevate and instruct, but mostly amuse.

What is the special satisfaction of your work?

I LOVE writing novels. The moment when the plot all comes together and I find out who did it is wonderful.
