Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a South African author. Although I have always loved reading, I did not always envision myself as an author. I obtained my honors degree in biochemistry and pursued several years in teaching science to high school learners, before allowing myself to dream about being an author.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My book’s name is : She’s as good as dead. I had the idea for my first book form over several years before I realized that it is a story that should be told. Before that, I mostly just wished that someone would write a story like the one in my head, because I wanted to read it!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write best when I am in my pajamas.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
My ultimate favorite author is Mary Higgins Clark. I have devoured every one of her books.
What are you working on now?
I am busy with the next book in the Lara Jones series (the sequel to She’s as good as dead).
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Finding helpful websites such as AWESOME GANG.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
There will be many moments that you doubt that your novel is worth reading. Just make sure that it is something that you wish you could have read!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The line between impossible and the possible is never drawn for you.
What are you reading now?
I dug up some of Mary Higgins Clark’s books from before I was born, and I am currently reading them.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I hope to add several books to the Lara Jones series before figuring out which stories also needs to be told.
