Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Brooklyn Knight. I live in the flora-full islands of Bermuda with my husband and three children. I have been writing for as long as I can remember, and although my bookshelf and laptop are full of WIPs, I’ve just recently published my first book.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is entitled ‘The Maid’s Daughter’ and the story actually evolved out of another manuscript (which is sitting on my bookshelf waiting to be edited). There he was: William Cooper, the father of the hero in my unpublished work; and there she was, Naomi Jackson, the hero’s maternal coworker who had a painful past. Suddenly, the light bulb illuminated and there was this blatant connection between each of the characters. That’s when I started to write…
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I am extremely nocturnal, perhaps from my university day, so my best work happens in the wee hours of the morning (think between the hours of 1 AM and 3 AM). Unfortunately, that doesn’t bode well when it comes time to making 8:30 AM to work…
What are you working on now?
I’m currently writing a novel entitled ‘Freedom Place’, which is a modern-day ode to the classic. It’s a slight shift on the romance genre, but I’m keeping the love theme as heavy as I can. Then, of course, there’s the prequel and the sequel to The Maid’s Daughter. Priority is being placed on The Maid’s Daughter series, but Freedom Place is very exciting.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Marketing and promotion is a work in progress. I’m learning as I go and am extremely grateful for sites like Awesome Gang who partner with indie’s to make it happen.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Make time to write. Spend money on an editor. Spend money on a book cover. Publish.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Believe in yourself. They are your dreams and your goals, so it’s up to you to make it happen.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I would love to do this full-time.
