Writer's block is your mind's way of telling you to take time out and reflect on what you've written. Taking a break when it strikes is important - you will return to your work refreshed. With new ideas and strategies, that natural flow will soon return.

Carry a small dictaphone with you and have it by your bedside - some of the best thoughts and concepts come when you least expect them to. Immerse yourself in your story and envisage yourself as an onlooker in it.

I'm working on a series of tales for children. Having conjured up many stories for my own children when they were young, it's something I've always wanted to do.

Personally, I must have a passion for any subject I write about at length. Tom Crean's story is the most courageous I've ever discovered and researched so there was never a time that it didn't excite. The same applies to any subject - it has to ignite an urge in me.

I've been a huge admirer of Tom Crean and his story from a young age, so much so that, in 2010, I began a campaign to achieve him official recognition from his country. Writing the book was a great way of extending his growing international fanbase and it's a story that will, I hope, generate more supporters of the campaign.
