In my early books, my main characters didn't have children. At the time of writing them I didn't think that this was a decision I had made consciously, but looking back I'm sure it was. As a mother of three, I've felt the overwhelming emotions being a mum brings daily for almost 30 years now, and until recently I wasn't sure I was ready to cope with my characters' emotions as well as my own. Because, although I love being a mum more than anything else in the world, the worry about children never ends, no matter how big they grow.
