* '''BB: Are your characters completely imagined, or do they take on any aspects of people you know?'''
CB: I don't use real people as models - the characters are entirely made up – but imagination necessarily draws on experience. For example, in [[The Purple Shadow by christopher Christopher Bowden|The Purple Shadow]], gallery-owner Madame Ducasse and her assistant Véronique are, I think, people you would recognise on the streets of Paris but they are not based on any specific individuals.
* '''BB: ''The Purple Shadow'' describes both London and Paris very vividly. Are you a city person or a country person?'''
