I'm hoping so! Look out for one later this year x

I'm so glad you enjoyed them! I loved writing them. I would really like to produce them in audio one day, when I am able to fund the narration.

I will definitely be looking into options for getting some, or all, of my books translated in the future. At the moment I can't say when that might be.

Hi! A Dance For Two is first and then A Dance For You. They are loosely linked, rather than it being crucial to read them in that order. A Dance For Christmas is a short story, in the omnibus edition, that takes place after A Dance For You. Hope that helps!

I have considered writing a lesbian romance, but the right idea hasn't come to me yet.

I find timed writing really useful when I'm really stuck. I set a timer for 10 minutes and write whatever I can (it doesn't matter how terrible it is) and then I stop and walk away. To start with, those 10 minutes will be really hard, but after a few days, I'll find myself wanting to keep on writing.

Making people feel. Words have so much power. You can make people laugh or cry; you can make people happy, angry or sad. You can put powerful messages across, whilst entertaining people. I wouldn't want to do anything else.

Get it down! Seriously, self-editing is one of the worst habits of any writer. First drafts aren't supposed to be good (if yours are, fantastic!), that's what editing is for. However, if you don't get the first draft down, in its entirety before you edit, the chances are you'll never finish.

I'm currently working on a second romance novel, 'Why I Need You'. It picks up the story of Fin, a secondary character in 'Why I Left You'. I've just completed the first draft and I'm moving into the editing phase.

I'm inspired by everything! TV shows, films, novels, random snippets of conversation... everything is potential inspiration fodder and can easily lead to a spark which will form into a character. I always start with characters and then figure out what it is they need/want.

Writing Jamie's story was very cathartic for me, as I wrote it whilst suffering from PND. So Jamie's journey, in many ways, is reflective of my own. The love and support of my husband was one of the things that got me through it, so it felt natural to make Jamie's story a romance.
