Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live in Cornwall with my husband and teenage son. I currently have five books published by The Wild Rose Press – a series of four women’s fiction and a standalone romantic comedy.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Breaking All The Rules. It is the tale of Kate who is due to get married in a month to a totally suitable man, but she gets thrown completely when her old high school crush returns to the village. I was inspired to write a romantic comedy about a wedding when my daughter was getting married.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I often write in the middle of the night.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Daphne du Maurier, Sophie Kinsella, Barbara Erskine
What are you working on now?
A couple of things actually. Another romantic comedy about a couple who don’t know each other, who get forced to travel from the South of England to the North of Scotland together on a motorbike.
I’m also working on a novel which is set in the present, but with two flashback stories running through that uncover a century old mystery.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Twitter
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just keep writing. You’ll get loads of rejections but don’t let them get your down. You’ll get there in the end.
What are you reading now?
Just about to start The Girl on the Train.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have lots of book ideas spinning around in my head, so my plans are just to keep writing!
