Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
To date I have written two science fiction books in the Titan Fleet series – Titan Fleet: The Invictus and Titan Fleet: The Robur – both of which contain adventure, horror and romance. I have plans for the last book in the series – Titan Fleet: The Fahrenheit. I am currently writing a thriller and also a children’s book. I love to write early in the morning with a fresh cup of Earl Grey tea and the words begin to flow.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Titan Fleet: The Robur. The book was inspired by the first one. For several people it was the first book they had ever read. I felt that I owed the reader more action and thrills. I love to write and the thought of others reading my books inspires me to share what is inside and encourage people to read and escape.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to outline all my work in pencil in jotter books. I feel writing is an extension of what makes me who I am and I just love writing that way to start with. So nothing different really, I think, to most authors.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
To be quite honest I have many authors that I admire and could make a long list, but what influences me more is the thought that you can do anything if you try, no matter what others may think or say. You can do it if you just take time to write it.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on a thriller, with gore and excitement, and also I am working on a children’s fantasy book, which is funny, so watch this space.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Just getting my books out to as many sites as I can. Promote lots on Facebook and my author’s page there, and Goodreads, and as many websites as I can.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
When all seems to push against you, push back and write with the belief in yourself that you CAN and WILL finish the book. It is worth all the hard work, and is an amazing feeling. ‘I can’t’ is an easy excuse that anyone can use. ‘I did it’ is hard to achieve and rarely heard.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Simple – Just write it.
What are you reading now?
Kings or Pawns: Steps of Power: The Kings, Book 1 by J J Sherwood
What’s next for you as a writer?
To change genre for a while to thrillers, and keep writing many more action packed books for my fans. I also want to help others realise they have it within them to achieve great things if they try.
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?
Encyclopaedia of medical things, lol. SAS survival book, and a bible.
