What got you into fantasy? What were your childhood favourites? What/who inspired you to write?
I loved Robin Jarvis and Brian Jacques when I was quite young, although I read a lot of classics and such as well. In my early teens I was a huge fan of Robin Hobb, Raymond Feist, Katharine Kerr, Maggie Furey, Sara Douglass and countless others. I also loved anything to do with animals, such as Gabriel King's 'The Wild Road', and William Horwood's 'The Wolves of Time'.
There are a lot of other books which I know I have forgotten. I kept most of the series that I loved and they are still in my bookshelves. My Sara Douglass books are falling apart - I did get them second-hand in the first place, but I have read and re-read them over the years.
