Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi, I have written plenty of fan fiction and short stories for my personal use over the years. However, Saying goodbye is the first work that I have published as part of the Letters to Lillie series.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Saying Goodbye is the first of the Letters to Lillie series. It was inspired partly because I haven’t seen much out there that looks into grief and depression when dealing with the loss of a loved one. I thought that by writing this it would help people deal and understand what they are going through.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to watch rubbish tv in the background but I do admit to getting distracted occasionally!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
My biggest influences are Bernard Cornwell and CS Forester.
What are you working on now?
Currently the next, slightly larger installment of the Letters to Lillie series, titled ‘Facing my Demons’
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I love twitter, as it lets you connect with readers!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just keep going and stick at it!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The right attitude is worth 10 times that of natural talent.
What are you reading now?
The Dan Brown series about Robert Langdon.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Probably will be looking to take my fan-fiction to the next level and write a full length historical novel.
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 inheritance cycle, as it’s so meaty and I think I could read it over and over again!
