Interviu cu Kate Lord Brow si concurs de Valentine`s Day

Pentru ca este Valentine`s day am reusit si eu sa obtin carte pentru un concurs. Mai jos aveti un interviu cu minunata KATE LORD BROWN

What has inspire you to become a writer?

I always wrote, even as a small child - diaries, plays. I had my first short story published when I was at school. I think that the most important moment was hearing the poet Wendy Cope read at a school event - I realised then that writing could change lives, could be a career and not just a hobby.

Is any of YOUR FAMILY WRITER?

No - we have all sorts of people in our family - artists, musicians, architects, builders - and going back a bit, boxers and prime ministers! But I'm the first writer :)

When you was young, have you ever thought that you will become a writer/

It was always a dream, and something I worked at while holding down full time jobs. I've done all sorts of things - at university I worked as a secretary, at Harrods, for a children's charity. Then I ran an arts festival, and worked in a gallery in London. But any spare moment I was reading, and reading, and writing ..!

hOW many time are you spending working at your book?

Every day I write something. The books take a lot of research. Beauty Chorus I began in 2007/9 and it was published in 2011. Perfume Garden I began working on in Spain in 2001 - and it was published in 2012.

What are your favourite books/

That's a hard question!! I love so many. My favourites are 'Light Years' by James Salter, 'Bonjour Tristesse' by Francois Sagan.

Have you working at sth right now?

Yes! Something new and very exciting, that follows the path of a priceless piece of jewellery through the 20th century. Watch this space!

hOW is a normal day of you life?

It's busy! I have a young family and we are up each day at 5.30am for school. I work while they are at school, and in the evenings after the children are asleep. Life is full :)

What are your hobbies?

I love art and design, and I paint when I can. During the winter we make the most of being outdoors while it's cooler (I live in the Middle East), so we go to the coast, swim, play tennis. I read widely - fiction and non-fiction, and really enjoy cinema.
