Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I currently have nine books published, all either contemporary or erotic romance.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
One Night in Inverness is the latest to be published. It’s my third contribution to Tirgearr Publishing’s City Night series. I was inspired by a recent holiday to Loch Ness, and the beauty of Scotland.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not unusual, but I have to have a large mug of tea to hand when I’m writing. I can’t write without it.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
So many! I will read pretty much anything and don’t think I have a particular favourite author.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on several projects including two more contemporary / erotic romances, and a possible fantasy series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use Facebook and Twitter to promote my books. I’m a social media addict.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Listen to the feedback. Join a local writers group if you can.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Hire an editor. You will never find all of the typos etc. on your own. A professional editor has spent years training and honing their skills to help perfect your work.
What are you reading now?
I’m currently finishing an Arts and Humanities degree, so reading Gulliver’s Travels for my final assignment.
What’s next for you as a writer?
To keep writing!
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?
Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – preferably an anthology with all of the books in one. Book 5 of the Game of Thrones books (I’ve read the first four and they take a while for me to get through them, so that should keep me busy for a while). And an SAS Survival Guide. So I can survive.
