My likes and dislikes, favourite books and films, etc., rather depend on what I am currently obsessing on, so a list would need changing every six months or so. My love for The Scarlet Pimpernel is still strong - and Marguerite will ever remain my favourite heroine - but I have run out of creative steam. There is only so much to be said about Percy and Marguerite's passionate love, or Chauvelin's murky past, and it has already been covered, from every angle, by many different authors. The heyday of TSP fan fiction is long since past, I'm afraid! I shall probably return to Orczy's books and her wonderful characters again and again, because the original remains the best, but only for pleasure, not inspiration.

My muse is therefore 'between employment', or 'resting'. I love 'Knight Rider' and the unique friendship that Michael and Kitt share, but this is another 'cult' fandom! The recent revival has generated new interest, but the old skool writers have long since moved on. A shame. I also dabble in random 'misc.' books and television series - Nero Wolfe, Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) - but not often.

Perhaps I should leave other writer's creations alone and start something original!
