What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my latest book is Isabella: Crime has never looked this fabulous and was inspired by the hustle and bustle of central London. I’m a city girl and enjoy people watching , so this book is a mixture of the people I have met and added fantasy for the drama.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
My writing habit can be neurotic. I’m an extremely organised person however, when it comes to my writing I like to take notes when i’m out and about. But sometimes I do it so quickly that it almost doesn’t make sense yet, when I come back to it after some time, it works out.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Quite a few, it’s difficult to narrow it down. I read most genres however, I would say contemporary romance and erotic thrillers.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on book two in the series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Social Media and trusted network all the way.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Sometimes the process seems endless but keep writing. Dedicate time to write and stick to it. Also, remember to have fun!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Plant seeds now and watch them grow.
What are you reading now?
I just finished Sea Sores: A Brightonian Book by Nick Wood. Love it!
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am focused on creating more books and creating poetry for my blogs.
