THE DOUBLE –
Alison Brodie – Questions and Answers
Question:
Would you rather bathe in honey or chocolate sauce?
Answer:
Chocolate sauce. Then I’m more
likely to get some hunk to lick it off.

Which Rolling Stone would you be?
Answer:
Any. They all seem like they’ll
live forever plus they’ve all got great hips and 26 inch waists.

Yes please. I am already bulging
out of 3 wardrobes.

My brain.

A mojito, a moussaka and a good man – or a bad man – depending on how

Answer:
A shark. One gulp and I’d be
gone.
Question:
If you weren’t writing, what would you choose to do?

… seductively, of course)
Question:

The Double. I fancy myself

diamonds, opera gloves and satin gowns while issuing commands through a
megaphone to my staff of uniformed stewards.

What’s your top tip to other writers?
