Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
We’ve currently got two published under the name Evie Snow but in 2018 we’ll be releasing around seven or eight new releases and a bunch more in 2019. It’s going to be a busy couple of years! There might be a lot of cake eating and some red wine… (Who are we kidding? truckloads of cake and buckets of red wine!)
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Our latest book’s named Talkin’ The Talk and so many things inspired us! It all started with the phone-hacking scandal from a couple of years ago in the UK. We started to wonder what would happen if a newspaper editor was accused of being involved, but was actually innocent. And then we wondered where he’d hide out to clear his name. Texas Hill Country was an obvious choice because it’s warm, there’s amazing food and wine, and we loved the contrast between a down-home genuine Texan and an uptight Brit.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
We’re a husband and wife writing partnership so there’s a lot of eccentricity going on. We have been known to settle plot disagreements by throwing pillows across the living room at each other!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
So, so many. We’re both voracious readers. To name a few though, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Rachel Gibson, and Beverly Jenkins have been huge inspirations in romance, but then there’s P.G. Wodehouse, Terry Pratchett, Ian Banks and a big smattering of John LeCarre thrown in.
What are you working on now?
The next novel in the Texas Hill Country series, ‘I Want Candy’. Hopefully, we’ll get it done soon because Candy Blume, our heroine is awesome.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
We hope Awesome Gang will be great and there’s always Facebook and word of mouth. We’ve learned to never underestimate the power of one reader telling others about how much they enjoyed reading our books.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Red wine is wonderful! So is caffeine. And writing friends are valuable too. Make sure you cultivate friends who can give you honest opinions about your work in a nice way!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The first draft is just you telling yourself the story… Think that was a Terry Pratchett quote.
What are you reading now?
Persuasion by Jane Austen and The Magicians by Lev Grossman
What’s next for you as a writer?
More writing. And traveling. We’re both voracious travelers and spend a lot of our time galloping around the place, meeting new people and eating far too much good food.
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?
It Had To Be You by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Excession by Ian M. Banks, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John LeCare and The Code Of The Woosters by P.G. Wodehouse
