Hi Mark I just downloaded a copy of The Magpies to listen to tomorrow. Im looking forward to it as it will be the first of your work i have read or listened to. Im an aspiring writer myself and just wondered if you could tell me whether you sent your first novel to a publisher or whether you went straight down the self publishing route? Regards Richard

I'm sorry, I just saw this question! I spent years trying to get a deal, and then eventually stopped trying and self-published Killing Cupid. Then we got a deal with HarperCollins; then I self-published again; and now I'm with Amazon Publishing. So I've done a bit of everything.

Congrats - looks like From the Cradle is doing well in the U.S. Regarding that, there's a discussion on KBoards regarding U.S. readers leaving bad reviews for books written in British-English. http://www.kboards.com/index.php/topic,200772.0.html Did you have someone "translate" From the Cradle into American-ese or any other books first, or is it in its original form?

Was "Follow You Home" inspired by true events? I'm especially curious about the disturbing governmental attempt of baby-farming, but I'm not sure what keywords I should put if I want to Google about it. I'm not even sure I want to know. By the way, I thoroughly enjoyed "Follow You Home"! Oh, one more thing: is it ever going to be made into a movie? It has the potential.
