Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a working Mum with a young family living in Bristol in the UK. I have drafted many books, but Daughter of Riversleigh is the first one I have published.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Daughter of Riversleigh is my first and latest book. It was inspired by a beautiful stately home that I used to pass on the train as I travelled to and from work.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write on the train a lot because I commute on the train, I also write in station waiting rooms and on platforms.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I am probably most influenced by American romance writers like Nora Roberts and Linda Lael Miller along with English historical series like the Poldark Saga but I love to read books in lots of other genres too and I’m sure they all influence me.
What are you working on now?
I am working on the Riversleigh Trilogy Book 2, Woman of Riversleigh, which is also set at Rookwood House and features Genna, a character from the first book who takes centre stage in the second one.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I don’t know yet, I’m exploring them all.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write what you love to read, not what you think you should write.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Life is not about what you deserve, it’s about what you do.
What are you reading now?
I’m reading The Snow Geese by William Fiennes.
What’s next for you as a writer?
To see how much writing I can get done when I’m on holiday with my family at Lake Lugano in Italy.
What is your favorite book of all time?
This is so impossibly difficult, the only honest answer is that I don’t know.
