Author of the Month

That's me - over at the wonderful Book Club Forum. I'll be answering questions on the forum's 'featured author' thread throughout September so do stop by and ask me something. About writing. And nothing hard.

Fabulous questions (and answers!) on the forum. Fascinating reading your answers. When you mentioned your early inspiration with Jonathan Livingston Seagull I think I get why I like your work. As a 10 year old I had to learn great chunks of it off by heart for my speech lessons. And I loved it. I can still quote long threads. "Jonathan Livingston Seagull, stand to centre for shame in the sight of your fellow gulls." I digress...

Just fascinating.

Hey Mel,

So glad you're enjoying the Q&As on the forum. Lots of fab questions - and hopefully sensible answers! Oh, Richard Bach is the best, isn't he? 'Jonathan' changed my outlook on life (if that can happen aged 12!). If ever I have a long wait for an appointment etc, I'll grab the book and read it again. I read some of Richard's other works as an older teenager and his ideas hit me hard. Someone thought like I did!

Very best,
Sam xx
