Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a 52 year old writer from Melbourne, Australia. I have written my first novel. I work in and around criminals, cops and lawyers so I write under a pseudonym.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Miss Pretty’s Little Secret was inspired by a couple of author’s I have read. One being Robert G. Barrett and the other being Carl Hiaasen. I was inspired by the dark humor aspect of their characters in the crime genre.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I wrote the first 17,000 words on my phone before I got around to using a desk top!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Robert G. Barrett & Carl Hiassen.
What are you working on now?
I have another book coming out in January 2021. A number of the characters including the hero Len Dunning will be involved in that one as well.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
This one of course. I’m new to the caper so I cannot comment on others until I see how it all works.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep at it and edit hard!!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Get to work early!
What are you reading now?
Skinny Dip by Carl Hiassen.

I think I will write a third book and sit back and assess from there!
