I tell myself that I HAVE to garden because I can't do that at night and I'll write at night. But then I don't give my computer the same amount of time I gave the weeds in my garden.

I lived in Siena in 1994 and started writing the novel a few years ago-always wanted to write about the place as the months I spent there have stayed with me. Paris is another one of my favourite places-so lovely to walk around and stop off at cafes and wander around The Louvre-which I always get lost in!<br /><br />I can't imagine what it's like to live in Brisbane-must be great to be able to rely on the weather! Hope to visit Australia one day.
