* '''BB: What made you want to be an author?'''
PT: I think it was probably the [[The Chronicles of Narnia by C S Lewis|Narnia books ]] that set me off. When I was very small, I told my classmates I was writing a book about a magical land called Vortongo. I think I wrote a few sentences and drew a unicorn. I dare say I had a pop at doing the map that would go inside the front cover.
Then another boy casually informed us that he was writing a book about a magical land called Borvongo. I was incandescant with rage, but there was nothing I could do, because I couldn't prove that he was copying. That's a really old memory, so I guess I've wanted to write for as long as I can remember.
