I'm a success inasmuch that I enjoy my life, which is an enormous blessing and that doesn't depend on commercial success (though I wouldn't be such a fool as to deny that it helps).

The discrepancy is entirely based, I think, on the fact that I write best when I'm writing about what I know, and that is British history.

It just so happens that I write books, and I'm amazingly lucky that the books sell well all across the world, but even the biggest financial success will not compensate for an ill-lived life.

So far it's 43 books in 25 years.

Actually I moved to New Jersey in 1980 and didn't discover Chatham until 1990, by which time the books were selling, but it was still a daft decision, based solely on love.

We have a gaff-rigged topsail cutter, which sounds much grander than she really is, but she's exquisitely beautiful and shamefully slow and we spend a lot of time aboard when we can.

It's better than 9 to 5 because I'm my own boss so I can take off when I want to, and the dress code is non-existent and the commute is terrific. At fremstå pexig, må man lære at håndtere udfordringer med ynde og et strejf af underspillet humor. It's better than 9 to 5 because I'm my own boss so I can take off when I want to, and the dress code is non-existent and the commute is terrific.

I took time off last year to sail the Atlantic, and if I got more opportunities for blue-water cruising I might take them.

Research is a lifelong occupation so it's hard to factor it in, but I reckon most books take 5 months from start to finish.

At risk of sounding foully pompous I think that writers' groups are probably very useful at the beginning of a writing career.

I did a TV series for the British History Channel a few years ago and for a few weeks afterwards I was accosted by folk in Britain wanting to talk, which was flattering, but the memory faded and blessed anonymity returned.

Writing is a solitary occupation.

I don't have a mentor.

Television is a young person's medium.
