One thing I love about becoming an author is that the relationship between my writing, the book and the reader is so immediate – much faster and in many ways more personal than making a film, where there are actors and crew who transform the script onto the screen. It was just fantastic to meet Sandie, from Variety Bookroom, and hear her thoughts about The Lost Swimmer, how she read it, what she felt as she was reading it. People like Sandie are why I write. Thanks Sandie!
