1. Let your imagination run wild.
2. Live, breathe and inhabit the worlds you write about and your characters.
3. Never, ever think that anything you write is ‘unreal’ – the truth is really stranger than fiction.
4. If you have a bad day when nothing seems to be going right, get up the following morning and continue.
5. Above all, once you start, DO NOT STOP until you reach the end.
Lucinda Riley's latest book is The Light Behind the Window
