“Everybody you work with has their own voice, and if you do your job we...” — Michael Robotham Quote

Everybody you work with has their own voice, and if you do your job well enough, even their closest friends or their partner of 40 years isn't going to recognise the fingerprints of a ghostwriter.

I'm very critical of crime novels that use gratuitous violence to shock readers when it isn't necessary. If that's all you have to offer as a writer, perhaps you're in the wrong job.

I've known since I was 12 that I wanted to write. My father was a teacher, and there were so many books around, it seemed natural to pick them up.

I'd like to set a story in Australia, but I would need to feel confident my German and U.S. readers, for example, would stay with me.

The Toddstock thing is the closest thing, I have to say, a Grateful Dead sort of thing where it all lapses over from the formality of a concert into more of a lifestyle thing.

There are lots of things which I would love to tell him, but in some way, I also feel that I lost the person closest to me. And I got a second chance to live. So in a way I feel that I live for both of us... and I will do my best.

I feel like, with makeup, I really picked it up on my own. There's no one really in my family - my grandma is probably the closest - who loves makeup like I do.

You base your life, and you live your life on your terms. Your opinion matters, and the opinions of the people closest to you matter. Nobody else's opinion matters.
