Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I started my writing passion as a poet. This is quite different to what I am writing about now: lesbian domestic discipline romantic relationship stories. I have written two books so far of a trilogy. I have worked in many different countries and wherever I go I come across delightful women looking for this genre. Being passionate, I decided to try and satisfy some desire in this niche. My loving partner and I are moving to Spain shortly. Our villa looks out over the sea and on a clear day the mountains of Algeria can be seen. No better place for writing inspiration!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is the second in the ‘Marla’ trilogy. The main characters in it introduced themselves to me in a day dream and I knew I had to put them down in print for readers, who are inclined in the domestic discipline romance genre, to enjoy.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think I do. I do however, type so fast on my lap top that my proofing needs a lot of time to correct all the errors. The characters are just determined to get out of head as soon as they can and my poor fingers can’t keep up with their speed-so lots of typos occur.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Books in the same genre have inspired me, especially those type that do not mix up domestic discipline with sex. Whilst passionate scenes are part of romance and a domestic discipline relationship, the discipline itself is generally in life result in sex (although it can depending on the type of relationship).
What are you working on now?
I am working on the last book in the trilogy.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use Amazon kindle for my promotions-such as the free dates downloads.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write what you feel passionate about and what you know. Do not give up. It can be disheartening, but if you feel you have a story in you, persevere in getting it out.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
A motto that I try to live by: Life is not a rehearsal.
What are you reading now?
I am reading a psychological thriller/crime by Brian Freeman.
What’s next for you as a writer?
To work on a book about my experiences in the Middle East.
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?
J.R.r Tolkiens’s Lord of the Rings.
Radclyff’s Fated Love
The Bible
Most likely a Karin Slaughter book and/or one by J D Robb
