Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am the first time published author of Millie’s Angel and a busy mother of five children.
Working on the second book in the Millie saga and a free novelette for those that subscribe to my emails at Kim’s Whispers.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Millie’s Angel. I guess the inspiration has flowed from life and the use of a stretched imagination!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I love to write outside – preferably with a view and chocolate and a cup of tea or coffee, depending on the time … lots of chocolate.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
George R.R Martin – Game of Thrones author. Loving his descriptive passages.
Sally Beauman tells a great epic love story and Bryce Courtenay is magic.
What are you working on now?
Part Two in the Millie tales. I’ve titled it Ace of Games – lets see if the title sticks.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am trying different things from hiring a publicist to Twitter blasts. The book is new and I am an unknown author so I guess it will take some time for the book and my name to get around.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I am a new author! I would tell someone starting out to follow their instincts and keep the dream alive – never give up.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
A change of feeling is a change of destiny – Wayne Dyer
What are you reading now?
Killer Unleashed – Beth Prentice.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Writing, writing and more writing between school runs, homework and washing 🙂
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?
I would grab any two books by Saint Germain, followed by Destiny by Sally Beauman and I would read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown another few times over.
