As
a kid I often dreamt about being a pirate
and going out on the high seas in search of
hidden treasures.
At
the beach I used to love digging huge holes
all over the foreshore with my best mate Nick
in the hope that we'd unearth something really
exotic or mysterious.
The
best we ever got was a few coins, a damp ice
cream wrapper or three, or perhaps a few old
chicken bones. Yet I never lost the desire
to keep searching.
Writing
stories is my way of living out a lot of my
childhood dreams, because with a story I can
go anywhere, be anyone - and find whatever
treasure I want.
And
better yet, I don't have to worry about being
caught out by the tide or getting sea-sick!
