Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Writing has always been an escape. A safe place. Where I can be anything and anyone that I want to be. Where I can create the perfect ending and right my wrongs. It allows me to explore depths I would not be able to. Sharing these places with those who might be in need is an honour and a pleasure. I have written several books, many of which lie unpolished in hard drives and pen drives, and I have published two with a third on the way. You Always was published in 2020. No House Without A Mouse is available for pre-order with October 7th 2021 being the official release date. Something New will be the third book published in November 2021.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
No House Without A Mouse. It was written over fifteen years ago.
I wrote it to see how resilient a heart can be when put through the ringer. I gave the main character one of the toughest complications out there to see how she would come out of it in the end.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I do. I let my characters tell me how they want me to tell their story. I can go for months with no inspiration then one day the words will not stop flowing.
Weird habits. I work best around 2 a.m. when all is still.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Jilly Cooper when I was a teenager. Jane Austen when I was a young adult. Karen Marie Moning right now.
What are you working on now?
Something New. My third novel. It has taken me to Madrid, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Gaborone.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write.
What are you reading now?
On Beauty by Zadie Smithe
What’s next for you as a writer?
The world.
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?
Pride and Prejudice

Runaway Jury
Fever series-it counts as one book, right?
