Oh wow - that's always a tough question! I love Rebecca but have only read it two or maybe three times. I love Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood, too. I've probably read that about four or five times. I also love Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, by Jeanette Winterson, which I've read so many times I can't remember.

Hi - thank you!
No plans for any of that yet, but never say never. There's something kicking around in my head that's part sci-fi/speculative fiction. But who knows?

I don't have strong feelings but I love the idea of someone taking my characters and doing their own version of them. It'd be fun!

I'm always at work, but I love what I do so it doesn't feel like it. I'm very lucky to be able to do this.

You have to spend time with them - which means writing them, thinking about them, interviewing them, arguing with them. When they start to feel real you know something is working.

All the way through - especially during the editing process! It was a constant process because every time I changed anything I had to go through the rest of the book to make sure it didn't crop up again or make something else suddenly out of context. Painstaking!

Thank you! I read really widely - lots of crime and psychological thrillers of course, but other stuff as well. Whatever takes my fancy, really!

Hi - my third book is out now/soon! It's called Final Cut
S.J. Watson
That's a really interesting question and of you're right, it's odd. People ask me if my Dutch translation is good, for example, and I have to say, 'I have no idea...'

Hi - and thanks for this. My new book is called Final Cut and is out now (in the UK at least, later in the month for US, CAN and ANZ. And i'm also working on another book, in the meantime...

I can only suggest your son tries to get an agent. Not every person would agree with me, but that's my take. Good luck.

Hi - a good question! It can be, yes. Especially at the end of the first draft.
S.J. Watson
You know as much as me.
