~ Do you have a favourite city in which you set your novels?

I’m very partial to the cities of South East Asia: Hong Kong, Penang, Singapore, Shanghai and the like… (okay, strictly speaking, Shanghai is not in South East Asia. I knew that). They’re such an intriguing blend of East meets everything else.

~ If you had a list of five celebrities you were allowed to snog without repercussions from your partner, who would they be?

Captain Jack Sparrow

Captain Mal - from Serenity fame

The Doctor - David Tennant style

Captain Jack Harkness - from Torchwood

James Bond - Sean, Pierce, Daniel… I’m easy (clearly)
