What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Stolen Desires was actually inspired by my grandfathers life when he came to Australia – trying to leave one’s past behind and start anew across the oceans, only to have one’s past find you.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m not sure it’s unusual but I write lots of notes and quotes, even little sections of dialogue. They don’t belong to any story as such, but I keep them and look back on them at least once a year until a story forms from them.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I take inspiration from so many places, from romance books written by Amanda Quick, to crime novels written by Agatha Christie.
What are you working on now?
I’m actually having a small break from committing to any writing projects whilst my mother is in hospital with terminal kidney failure, but I still try to jot down the odd note here and there. While I’ve been dealing with family matters, I’ve been going back over and re-reading some completed manuscripts and trying to do some basic edits.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I tend to rely on my personal website and the publishers website quite heavily, but I also use Facebook and X quite a lot.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Be prepared to fail and get up and keep trying.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
To write the stories you want to read, and a bad first draft is better than a blank page.
What are you reading now?
I’m currently reading several of my own manuscripts and trying to get them ready for publication.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m not sure…I’ve recently released 2 books of poems and ditties I wrote when I was still at school, but I really want to get back to romance. Hopefully, once my family life settles a bit, I should be able to release the first book from my next series ‘Blemished’ – a collection of stories with heroes/heroines that have been physically scarred and are searching for love.
What is your favorite book of all time?
