Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
The Life I Always Wanted is my first book, I have been an avid reader for years and always wanted to try my hand at writing.
I couldn’t sleep one night and as I lay in bed, the idea of the book came to me. Needless to say I didn’t get much sleep at all, I felt like I was on a high.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Life I Always Wanted, I wanted to write a book which inspired people to break out of the chains they are shackled to, that your life can be changed if you just ask for help.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to write to music playing, so I spend ages searching on Google Play for the right music to inspire the scenes that I am writing.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Chloe Walsh is one author that I can honestly say is my friend and her books just blew me away, I read them two years ago and I messaged her and we have been friends ever since.
Beth Flynn is another great author, she has helped me a lot through my writing process.
Jay Mclean is just an awesome writer and she is lovely and down to earth, Tillie Cole is my all time fave, she knows how to write a book.
What are you working on now?
The amount of emails and messages I have had off readers who have asked for a book about one of the secondary characters from The Life I Always Wanted blew me away, so I decided to do just that and give the readers what they asked for. Somewhere Only I Know will be out late summertime.
