When my first marriage ended — and feeling, as one does, pretty broken by it — I came to live with my now wife, Sarah Raven, in Hammersmith, west London.

Have you had any flops? One of the books I'm proudest of is Playing With Death - a futuristic techno thriller about artificial intelligence and virtual reality. Unfortunately, the publishers thought it would be a great idea to market it to the same people who read my Roman novels. It should have been the water cooler novel of the year because it tapped into so many things that were just beginning to happen. One of the villains was a cross between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.
