What inspires you to write romance books?<\/b>
\nI love everything about romance, movies, books, romance in relationships. The world can be a very tough place, and all we need is love!<\/p>\n
Tell us about how you write:<\/b>
\nI start off with having a big cup of coffee, and some biscuits. I then do some blogging, catch up on emails and social media, and then I write. Some days, I get a lot out, some days, barely anything. But as they say, you can’t edit a blank page, so all helps!<\/p>\n
Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?<\/b>
\nI listen to them yes. Usually when I’m lying in bed, a scene will come to me, which I have to jot down. Notepads are very handy in the writing world!!<\/p>\n
What advice would you give other writers?<\/b>
\nNever give up on your passion! Write, write, write. Research about self and traditional publishing. Get your manuscript the best it can possibly be!<\/p>\n
How did you decide how to publish your books?<\/b>
\nI went the traditional route. It’s very hard. From writing the synopsis, covering letters, researching agents \/ publishers etc. I was offered a place with three publishers. After a lot of rejections, mind, but we all have them! Never give up!<\/p>\n
What do you think about the future of book publishing?<\/b>
\nI hope there will be more places to read. Book bars, book cafe’s etc. Books play a huge part in entertainment. It would be nice to meet new and other readers.<\/p>\n
What genres do you write:<\/b>: erotic romance, contemporary, crime \/ drama.<\/p>\n
What formats are your books in<\/b>: Both eBook and Print<\/p>\n
