Emily Gravett Revealed
Q. What is your motto or maxim?
A. Why stay between the lines?
Q. If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your days, what would it be?
A. That would be really really boring! But I do love baked beans on toast, with cheese on the top.
Q. How would you describe perfect happiness?
A. For me perfect happiness a day with my family after finishing (and being pleased with) a book, but having had an idea of what to start working on next. It also involves roast potatoes, red wine, well cut lawns and my dog.
Q. What is your biggest pet peeve?
A. Lateness. I'm the kind of person that's always early to everything. I spend a lot of time hanging around in in the cold being too early for trains/meetings/friends/parties etc. That's one of the reasons I find lateness so irritating. When you're normally half an hour early, and everyone else is half an hour late it means a whole hour of waiting. Grrrr.
Q. What trait is most noticeable about you?
A. Hmmm. I dread to think! I wear a lot of stripes, and am often in big boots.
