God, don’t we long for spring? It’s been grim for everyone, hasn’t it? Those of us who’re alone, and those of us who’re struggling with children, and families, and those of us who’re fighting for […]

So here we are in week whatever of lockdown. I think we’ve all lost track, haven’t we? As I said in my last post, for a writer it’s weirdly the same as ever, except one […]

So here we are, in lockdown. I think it’s taken a while to sink in – the deeper the shock, the longer it takes to catch up with oneself. Of course it’s utterly catastrophic for […]

I haven’t written for ages, due to life getting in the way (something with which we’re all familiar). Plus a horribly dreary wet winter and grim national and international news (with which we’re all familiar […]

An extraordinary thing happened with The Carer. Within an hour of my appearing on BBC Breakfast TV it shot to number 1 on Amazon. It didn’t stay there long but it was rather thrilling, and just shows […]

Much to my astonishment, ‘Tulip Fever’ is apparently coming to cinemas on 7 December. This whole twenty-year-old saga (see previous postings) might be coming to an end at last. It has been both bizarre and […]

Rather thrillingly – very thrillingly – I’ve been given an OBE (“for services to literature and drama”). It actually made the front page of our local paper here in Wales, the Powys County Times, underneath photographs of the […]

With Tulip Fever’s imminent release in the UK, here’s a piece I wrote for the Hollywood Reporter (the film has already been released in the USA and other territories). At the time of writing (Sept […]
