Who were your literary heroes and influences growing up?
Like a lot of kids, I was first exposed to reading through Enid Blyton and my first solo reading experience involved painstakingly working my way phonetically through the longer words in a Secret Seven novel.

After that, I was hooked: John Christopher, Alistair MacLean, Doctor Who novelisations, Ian Fleming, H.G. Wells. I also had a huge affection for Eric Thompson’s anthologies of Magic Roundabout stories, which I’m sure fed into my own Samuel Johnston books.
I actually re-read those Thompson stories recently and they're still wonderfully funny.
