I have worked as a producer on various film projects before going on to set up my own production company. I am a trained editor and have also written and produced several short films scripts. Originally from England, after a few years of travelling the world I moved to Ireland where I currently live with my husband, 2 young daughters, 16 chickens, a pet rabbit and a cat named Tilly.<\/p>\n<p>I&#039;m just finishing up my fourth book which is fantasy\/ paranormal due out later this year. A Strange Affair: An Erotic Tale was my third book. My first book was a paranormal romance novella called Red Right Hand, which I followed up with a contemporary romance novel called The Secret Side of US.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>What inspires you to write romantic fiction?<\/strong><br \/>Everything around me inspires me. It could be the people I meet while out shopping or a man I pass on the streat or even a song on the radio. I&#039;m inspired by everything.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about how you write.<\/strong><br \/>I write in the dark at night like a vampire. When I was at college I always studied for exams at night while listening to music and the habit seems to have stuck. I have layers. I have the story in my head so I write it down as quickly as possible. Then the conversations between the characters come to me. Then I write the emotions. Then I go over it all and try to pull all the layers together.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you listen to or talk to to your characters?<\/strong><br \/>All the time.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>What advice would you give other romance writers?<\/strong><br \/>Write a little bit every day. Even if it&#039;s only two lines. Write every day!<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you decide how to publish your books?<\/strong><br \/>I went with self publishing as I wanted control over how and what went out.  I rely on Bloggers, Reviewers, adverts, and word of mouth. The writing community are amazing and always happy to help spread the word. I must admit Bloggers are great for me; they really helped get my work out there.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think about the future of book publishing?<\/strong><br \/>I think there is still a lot of change to come.  There are so many tools out there for self publishers to use and they are getting better each day.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Which romance sub-genere(s) fit your stories best?<\/strong><br \/>Contemporary, romance, erotica, fantasy, paranormal<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>My books are available in the following formats:<\/strong><br \/>eBook, Print<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wr-subheading\">Find this author on:<\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"float:left;text-align:center;width:100px;margin:auto;padding:10px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.briennedubhauthor.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"link-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/wantonreads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/authorsite.png\" alt=\"Author's website\" width=\"50\" \/>Author Site<\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"float:left;text-align:center;width:100px;margin:auto;padding:10px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=sr_qz_back?sf=qz%2Crba&amp;rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3ABrienne+Dubh&amp;keywords=Brienne+Dubh&amp;unfiltered=1&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1522756422\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"link-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/wantonreads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/amazon.png\" alt=\"Find this author on Amazon\" width=\"50\" \/>Amazon<\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"float:left;text-align:center;width:100px;margin:auto;padding:10px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/profile\/view\/BrienneDubh\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"link-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/wantonreads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/smashwords.png\" alt=\"Find this author on Smashwords\" width=\"50\" \/>Smashwords<\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"float:left;text-align:center;width:100px;margin:auto;padding:10px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/7845293.Brienne_Dubh\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"link-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/wantonreads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/goodreads.png\" alt=\"Find this author on GoodReads\" width=\"50\" \/>GoodReads<\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"float:left;text-align:center;width:100px;margin:auto;padding:10px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BrienneDubhAuthor\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"link-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/wantonreads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/facebook.png\" alt=\"Find this author on Facebook\" width=\"50\" \/>Facebook<\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"float:left;text-align:center;width:100px;margin:auto;padding:10px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrienneDubh\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"link-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/wantonreads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/twitter.png\" alt=\"Find this author on Twitter\" width=\"50\" \/>Twitter<\/a><\/div>\n<p><br style=\"clear:both\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find this author on:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41347,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6751],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wantonreads.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41346"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wantonreads.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wantonreads.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wantonreads.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wantonreads.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wantonreads.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41346\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wantonreads.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wantonreads.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wantonreads.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wantonreads.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
