Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m Japanese but moved to Australia in my early teens. I now spend time between both. I have always been fascinated with romance stories and particularly enjoy writing in the transgender genre. I suppose it’s a mix of traditional Japanese and western. I have published two books and have another three ready to go.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Private Dancer was inspired by an event in the life of a friend of mine. It reflects his first introduction to the allure of the transgendered.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really. It’s a bit like baking a cake. I go hard at the writing, then let it simmer, then polish it off.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I have a few fave authors. They include Nikki Crescent, Melanie Brown, Barbara Deloto, Kylie Gable & Akyson Belle
What are you working on now?
A new book inspired by the life of a well known celebrity. It’s early days though, so that may change.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Hopefully this one.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I’m too new to give advice.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Buy Scrivner.
What are you reading now?
Melanie Brown’s I’m with the Band.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Get some books under my belt.
