Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m currently working on my fifth book, which is the third in a series of books about a time-traveling super ghost with a sense of humor. All of my books are available worldwide on Amazon.
My background is nursing, but since I retired four years ago, writing has become my full-time occupation, I write most days.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My last book The Jasper Claxton Mysteries was the second in The Ghost from the Molly House Series. I wanted to create a sympathetic character who wasn’t restricted by the ‘human’ condition. Here is some information about the book:
Jasper Claxton was only twenty when he died in the early part of the 18th century in Newgate prison in London, because of gross injustice and cruel, barbaric beliefs, and practices. He’s now a super ghost who travels through time, helping others who are either the victims of crime, or troublesome and dangerous spirits. The Jasper Claxton Mysteries is a collection of three ghost stories that mix actual places, and historical events, with fantasy.
The first story is set in Haiti in 1933. While searching for some ancient stones that are said to have mystical powers, Jasper finds himself helping MI6 who are looking for a missing agent while investigating dark voodoo rituals, drug smuggling, and modern-day slavery.
The second story is set in Paris in 1900. Jasper works with a perfumier and spiritual medium, to try and stop a sinister Brotherhood, who are trying to become immortal and want to control the supernatural and the natural order of things.
The third story is set in Venice, Italy in 1934. Jasper finds himself back with MI6 who are investigating a research centre and sinister Artificial Intelligence.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think so, but I do treat it like a full-time job.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Too many to mention, but I admire Dan Brown, I like many different genres of books, at the moment I’m enjoying Shani Struthers, we seem to have a similar mindset.
What are you working on now?
My new book is called The Pluckley Psychic Historical Society and is the third book in The Ghost from the Molly-House series, which should be out on Amazon in December 2018. After that, I’ll be on with the fourth book, which will be called The Paranormal Agency and is set in the present day.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Goodreads, although you can find me on many other book sites.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
You have to be really determined, and keep at it, it can be a long journey, I’m still on mine. You must also learn to cope with criticism, which is never easy.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
It’s better to be loved for who you are than something you’re not.
What are you reading now?
The Haunting of Highdown Hall by Shani Struthers.
What’s next for you as a writer?
More books.
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?
