Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m twenty-seven years old and have written nine novels.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Sometime, Maybe and I’ve always loved dealing with complex, emotional issues. It’s hard to pin point what inspired me to write it, I think it was mixture of different things I’ve read and seen over the years!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Penny Vincenzi, I LOVE her books. Its amazing how much she’s able to write and the number of plots she puts in.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently in the middle of Playing For Keeps which should be out late May/ early June. It tells the story of a complex love triangle. Two of the characters are related to each other so it gets a bit messy and there’s plenty of drama!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I do all I can, I have a site: http://carlagodfreyebooks.iconosites.com and I fill out interview forms such as this one, I’m hoping it all helps!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Read! Read as much as you possibly can. But don’t t read any old thing, you have to be passionate and enthusiastic, so jut read books in the category you wish to write for.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never give up.
What are you reading now?
A New York’s Winter Tale by Mark Helprin
What’s next for you as a writer?
A rest! I’ll chill for a while until I think up my next one!
