Hi Dawn,
Thanks for your question. The old adage is true: write what you know when you can. I always try to incorporate the real life experiences of myself and my friends and family as much as possible into my stories. It gives it authenticity, and hopefully makes the characters, as you have kindly expressed, relatable. I take little bits and pieces of real life here and there and put them in my books.

1. I adore your books. Just finished London Road and started Jamaica Lane as I can't stop reading your books :) 2. I looove your scotish accent, it's probably the coolest thing ever! :) You have(!) to keep on vlogging ;) Well, I've read before that you are a planner, so how long do you plan and how long do you actually write it down?
