Michael Robotham

A perfect hero is about as boring as a perfect marriage.

I often joke that I could write 'War and Peace' and make it sound like Geri Halliwell wrote it.

I normally write in the first person, and my narrators are as real to me as any of the people I have worked with. They live and breathe in my imagination.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.
