All About Ava:  a typical day at my kitchen table, a space reserved for the work of adapting Ian Hamilton’s wonderful mysteries series for films with, thank goodness, his generous & invaluable guidance.

Tools:  hard copies of the books, highlighters, a 3” D-ring binder for the working & published Drafts (for making my own changes & cuts by hand), Notes and Correspondence - printed out -, a dedicated Moleskine (where I work things out beat by beat before I type anything), stickies, endless colour-coded stickies, pens - Uniball Fines & Sharpies - though the purple is unusual and probably nicked from a tv writing room along the way.
