Another year is coming to a close, and this time, it is closing the busiest year I have probably ever had. In my personal life, it saw my son turning seven (completely blows my mind) and my daughter being born. She will be eight months old by the end of December and I can’t quite work out where the time has gone.
Now You See Me is part of the What’s her Secret? imprint, how did you find writing about a secret that was as buried and disturbing as Jo’s?
Honestly...it was pretty hard. As a writer, you form these incredible bonds with your characters. They become your best friend, your love, your children. When they have a tough time it's hard putting them through that. Jo had been in the back of my head for years before I really sat down to tell her story and it was only when I finished that I realised it was because I had to mature in myself and give her the room to develop to really do her justice.
Three of my favorite TV couples:
• Monica & Chandler (Friends). As viewers, it's rare to be able to watch the complete history of someone's relationship. We got to see 10 years plus of this couple (who could forget those infamous flashbacks — This isn't a toe, it's a small, very cold, piece of carrot). We saw their friendship, their dive-bomb into a physical relationship and the beautiful ignition of love. And, come on, there isn't a single person who didn't melt at Monica's proposal.
