Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written four books. Three sci-fi romance and one contemporary romance set in my hometown of Melbourne, Australia. The latter is my most recent release.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Second Chances was inspired by my own friendships – it’s the first in a four-book series following the lives and loves of four best friends – it is also inspired by a favorite television show of mine. Can you guess which one?
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No, but I would love to develop some. Just to give people something to talk about when I become famous! 😉
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Right now I am being heavily influenced by everything girl best friend, which is great for my writing! I just got finished reading a series about two best friends who solve crimes together and no, they don’t have a true crime pod cast!
What are you working on now?
From Monday I will be working on the next in the besties series, the series that Second Chances is the first book for. Wish me luck!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Honestly, I am the worst marketer. My books tend to find their audience though and we have a nice little community through email!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write what you love, and someone else will love it too!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
That I am not a gold coin to be loved by everyone. It takes the pressure off that I am not here to be everything to everyone and to just focus on me.
What are you reading now?
I am between books. Any suggestions?
What’s next for you as a writer?
More best friends falling in love!
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
The Alchemist to remind me that the answers are always within; Slutever to remind me that I am the baddest bitch who needs to keep working on realising that (I wish I could be more Samantha from Sex & the City and less Charlotte) and my tattered copy of the complete works George Orwell because his work fed me for a very long time.
