Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve been writing romances now since 2011. Seven (soon to be eight) book are in the Cruising to Love Series, one is in the Flavour of the Month Series, and |I’ve also written a book of short Stories.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Those Angstrom Men!, a collection of three short stories. I just sat down one day to work on another book, but the story of Ian and Maggie, popped into my head and just about wrote itself, and the other two stories followed soon after.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I decide to edit something ‘for half an hour’ about 10pm and find myself writing new material until 2am!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Too many to list. I started to read Harlequin and Mills & Boone books when I was very young, and I think that one of those writers, Betty Neels was my favourite. I also like, at the other end of the spectrum, and although it isn’t fashionable to admit it, E L James — I’m sick of reading remarks putting her down. She wrote a good story!
I love Katy Perry, Belle Andre, Red Phoenex, they’ve inspired me to be bolder.
What are you working on now?
I am busy editing the eighth book in the Cruising to Love Series, and working on two others, neither part of a series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Can I answer that one in August? During July, I’m running 8 promotions and figure that at the end of the month, I’ll have a pretty good handle on what works for me and what doesn’t.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Grammar and spelling are important. Edit. Put your book away for a few weeks or even months, then re read and re edit before you post it.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write from your heart.
What are you reading now?
I`m working my way though Melody Anne`s books about the Anderson family/Storm family. Loving it!
What’s next for you as a writer?
I hope to keeping writing and keep getting better
