I think the problem was a chronic lack of self-belief: I didn't think I could write a novel, and this had a paralysing effect. I was only kept going by my wonderful literary agent, Luigi Bonomi, who had total faith in me and my story and encouraged me to take the psychological leap of simply getting words onto the page – and not instantly deleting them! I hope I won't have quite that problem again, for the rather wonderful reason that people who have read The Legacy are telling me they "couldn't put it down". So I seem to have done something right in the end.(less)

Quotes by Melanie Phillips  (?)

“Islamophobia,’ the thought-crime that seeks to suppress legitimate criticism of Islam and demonise those who would tell the truth about Islamist aggression.”
Melanie Phillips, Londonistan: Britain's Terror State from Within

“Since science is essentially objective, involving the study of how things actually are, "materialism" would therefore seem to be its antithesis, since its starting point is the desire to impose upon the natural world a particular and limited way of looking at it.”
Melanie Phillips, The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth, and Power

“Astoundingly, truth, evidence and reason had become right-wing concepts.”
Melanie Phillips, Guardian Angel: My Journey from Leftism to Sanity
