Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am happiest at home, living in the deepest Dorset countryside with my husband, three untamed sons, varying quantities of chickens, a few tortoises and a beautiful cocker spaniel.
When I am not overseeing my small menagerie, I write contemporary romantic fiction.
And when I am not doing either of those things, I work as a consultant anaesthetist.
I have completed five full-length novels, two of them waiting to be published.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Coming Together is the first in a New Adult Romance trilogy, entitled Johnson Road and is based around three students at Nottingham University. It was inspired by my own time at Nottingham University, living in a house in Johnson Road, although alas, my make housemates weren’t as gorgeous as Alex and Jasper. I also have a love for art history, hence the references to Sophie’s studies throughout the novel. The Barberini Faun, mentioned in the novel is worth googling if you don’t know it!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. I do a lot of my thinking whilst out walking with the dog or driving to work and then transfer my thoughts to paper (or laptop) at the earliest opportunity.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I am a voracious reader and always have been – I will read anything and everything, apart from biographies of wartime exploits by ex-soldiers, which, not to belittle their often tremendous achievements, I find inexplicably dull.
My favourite author is Alexis Hall – the master of the witty metaphor.
What are you working on now?
I am writing a book with the title Rat in the Palace, which is a story about a gay Earl, set in modern times, who unexpectedly inherited a country estate. He’s a little quirky to say the least….
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m a Goodreads addict, say no more.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write something and hopefully everything will start Coming Together!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t sweat the small stuff, life’s too short.
What are you reading now?
Mixed Messages #3 by Lily Moreton. All three are easy reading fluff but utterly delightful.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I love Ile de Ré – an M/F romance soon to be published is based on the island. I have another lined up in my head, a loved story about the little known prison on the island.
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?
Glitterland by Alexis Hall.
The Captive Prince trilogy by CS Pacat
The complete works of Shakespeare.
