When I was growing up, I was obsessed with 'Cagney and Lacey.'

When we were growing up, women in their late 40s generally didn't dye their hair.

I've been so amazed at the number of really professional top-of-their-game women who I know to be intelligent, well educated and brilliant who have said, 'What was it like to snog Matt LeBlanc?'

I have a shallow understanding of what it means to be alive, and I know certain things about parenting and being a wife and doing the school run. I know little bits, but I'm really a paddler on a beach.

I am only conscious of any satisfaction in Scientific Reading or thinking when it rounds off into a poetical generality and vagueness.

It is important that legislation keeps pace with scientific progress.

My fiction is reviewed by the mainstream press, by science fiction periodicals, romance magazines, small press publications and various other journals, including some usually devoted to archaeological and other science material.

I had then and still retain an interest in science for its own sake and as a metaphor for our current lives.
