PR: My guest today is the novelist Laura Reddington, whose novel, The Lost Dream was an international best-seller. Laura, did you always want to write? L: I've always been interested in books. I always thought it would be wonderful to be a writer and this was an ambition. PR: How did you start writing? L: Well, my first thought was that I needed to make a living, so I tried romantic fiction — without success, though. I thought it would be easy money. PR: How did you get the idea for your book? L: I was looking through my books one day when I found the story of a man who thought he'd found a new planet. I realised this was going on at about the same time as a famous murder case in London. So I thought I could mix the two stories together to make a sort of a detective novel. PR: How long did it take you to write the book? L: Well, that book took two years to write. I know some people can sit down and just write, and until they've finished they don't know how it will end. But for me, it's all about planning, when I worked out all the details, I concentrate on the actual writing. Ответы на вопросы к тексту для прослушивания № 6
