Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I write the sort of books I’d like to read. They’re all hot and sensual,. The more I write, the hotter the books get. I currently have 15 books on Amazon and one more going through edits with Stormy Night Publications.
I love to write paranormal romance, but also write contemporary and Regency romance.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Breeder – A Mechanic’s Tale. The title will probably change soon.
I fell in love with the Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood – the book not the TV series.
Then the what if’s started.
If the human population was decimated by plagues and the paranormals weren’t, what would the world be like? And what if only a few surviving females were Breeders?
Clearly, my story headed off in a different direction to the Margret Atwoods, but I stared in the same place. Of course, I added werewolves, vampires, demons and lots of spankings.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I read or write anywhere. On the bus. In the car – as a passenger. On the beach. You name it, I’ll put pen to paper there
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I fell in love with Georgette Heyer in my teens. Hence my love of Regency Romance. Sherrilyn Kenyon and Kresley Cole plunged me into a world of paranormal romance. Honestly, I have a reading adiction, but thanks to Kindle Unlimited, it’s under control.
What are you working on now?
I’m just about to start a third Regency Romance. A minor charactor in Wickeldy Used had a bigger role in HIs Innocent Bride. Now it’s time he had a story of his own
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I wish I knew. It’s like Alchemy. I grab any opportunity I spot and spend far too long on Twitter.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Never give up. I did a writing course to see if I was any good. It was about magazine writing, and I earned triple the cost of the course in six months. Only I wanted to write romance.
Getting a start was hard, and I will always be grateful that the now defunct Loose id gave me a start.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Adverbs are not your friend.
Its from Stephen King. If you only read one book on writing read his ON WRITING.
What are you reading now?
Erica Ridley’s historicals. I’m about half way though them and loving each one.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I wanted to get in the top onehndred on Amazon – and I did with His Innocent Bride.
Now I’m aiming for a top ten. It might take a while, but I will get there.
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?
The complete works of Shakespeare.
Is there a compendium of Sherrilyn Kenyon? If not, their should be. I’d take that.
The same applies to Georgette Heyer.
