Four years ago, after several decades writing for TV and film, I decided to attempt a novel, something I had always wanted to do but feared to start. The idea for Reckless came from a magazine article about agencies that arrange discreet affairs for the happily married. I was immediately drawn by the contradiction in that idea, but worried if I was capable of turning it into a novel rather than a screenplay. Although I have read hundreds if not thousands of novels over the years, I had never tried writing one. Would the skills be transferable?
