Bekki's alter-ego kicks in when she's not writing
music. She admits to being a 'houseproud gaming addict with a penchant for Italian
food and good wine'. Her favourite foods are carbonara and her mum's yorkshire
puddings, and her favourite drinks are coffee, mineral water, white zinfandel wine or a
good port. As far as bad habits go, she has two main ones: She smokes too much and
sleeps too little. When writing music, she can go without sleep for up to 4 days running.
During this time she survives on a (very unhealthy) diet of coffee, cigarettes, more
coffee, more cigarettes... you get the idea.
Bekki lives in a cosy little cottage close to the beautiful Derbyshire countryside and
is kept company by her Persian cat, Flumpet, who is quite possibly the most affectionate
animal on the planet.
A great fan of beautiful sunrises and sunsets, Bekki loves nothing more than watching
the sun come up whilst sipping coffee by the river at the bottom of her garden. Indeed, it
is during these times that she finds most of her musical inspiration, believing as she
does that there's something "magical" about "watching the world wake
up".
When Bekki relaxes and has a day off - which is extremely rare - she does so by playing
Tomb Raider (to which she is hopelessly addicted). Other favourite games include Crash
Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, American McGee's Alice and the Harry Potter games. Talk about
diverse tastes!
Another of her favourite hobbies is reading. Bekki is an avid reader of horror fiction
and can easily read an entire book in one night. Her favourite authors include Clive
Barker, Peter James, Dean Koontz, James Herbert, and of course Stephen King. Other
favourite (non-horror) authors include Tolkien, Minette Walters and Lynda LaPlante. |
