"When I was about five or six years old, I saw the Easter Bunny. I was so excited I was hysterical. I was told it was not the Easter bunny, it was a dog.
At first, I was stunned, but later I thought - 'but what if?' But what if it was the Easter Bunny? What if I was the only person in the world that could see it? What if... what if...?
Those words started the journey. Only now have I realised how they have coloured my whole life. They crept into the stories I told and when I started to write, those words sparked off so many ideas. They still do."
