How DO you do it?”

I can’t count the amount of times someone has said this to me.

I suppose it’s a fair enough question. I work full-time as French and English teacher, I’ve written six books, and I have five children and a puppy.

When I wrote my fourth book, Echoes of Grace, I only had four children, the youngest of whom was three and a half years old and pretty civilised. (When I say civilised, I mean sleeping through the night and potty-trained). I remember saying in interviews how Echoes just ‘flowed’. I would rise at 5am and write. Uninterrupted, I finished the book in six months.
