Hi Shirley, lovely to hear from you.
I've always thought visually from childhood, and find it helps in business too. You imagine the scene in your head then convert that to words. Screenwriting helps a novelist to ensure every word they use has a use. Rather than ramble on, you're able to be concise and not waste words. Writing a novel, where you have to use words to conjure up an image and emotion of a scene, is harder than writing a line or two for scene direction. They are very different disciplines :)

Hi Shivani. Good to meet you. You know, this is one series I'd love to write a third book. I'm pleased you enjoyed Double Alchemy. Maybe one day I might find time to continue Quinn and Cades story. 😍😍

It would have to be Michael Sattler and Christy Castle from the first book, Omorphi ( a great series!) by Cody Kennedy. I fell in love with this couple because of the beautiful nature of both young men, the caring of Michael and the strength of Christy. It truly was a gorgeous mating of souls.

Hi KA. Maxwell is from Suit Yourself, and is Oliver's (Nicky's) ex sex buddy. He's the rather flighty Flight Attendant lol. He gets his own story now in Flying Solo. Jax is from Feat of Clay; he's the young teen who was left half blind and scarred from a beating and chemical attack by his step brother. His story is coming after Flying Solo, it's called 'Damaged Goods'. Thanks for getting in touch xxoo

Hi there Angie
I'm pleased you're loving the series! Absolutely there are more books. Next release will be Suit Yourself- Leslie's story #3 - and then Clay's will follow in Feat Of Clay #4. That's finished and ready to be submitted to my publisher. Then we'll have Lenny's story #5 - you'll meet him in Suit Yourself, and then Maxwell's #6. Finally I'll be doing Jax's story #7 and you'll get to meet him in Feat Of Clay. Who knows where it will go from there.... :)

Hi Kayl, thanks for popping by. I’d LOVE to write a follow up to Anthony and Flynn’s story, perhaps with Marshall and Kieran. It’s just time is so short at the moment and I have other books I’m contracted to write. So at the moment I have to confess there are no plans to write anything more just yet. Perhaps when I win the lottery and stay home and churn out the books, I’ll manage to get this done J Thanks for the interest and for reading Love And Punishment. Hope you’re enjoying it..

Hi Joshua
Thanks for getting in touch. At the moment, I have no plans to write a story with Simon and Luis, just have too much other stuff on the go. I hope you enjoyed the story though and the pole dancing *grins*

Don't threaten to write. Do it. That's the best advice I can offer. If you want to see your work out there you have to write it down somehow. Make the time, even if it's only a few hundred or so words a day. Get your creative juices flowing and turn the rest of the world off....

The opportunity to meet amazing people, both online and face to face. I cannot tell you how exciting is to meet people that you may never had had the chance to meet simply because you share a common interest -books and good stories.

Currently I'm working on the second book in my Men Of London series.Book 1 is called Love You Senseless and is due out in October. But now I have to get book 2 done. This one is called Sight and Sinners and is about a young psychic and a rather cynical corporate investigator.

My new release is called Love and Punishment, due out 29 August. I've always loved crime fiction and watch a lot of it. Of course you all probably know I love Sherlock lol.So I really fancied writing something with a smouldering detective in it. I've always been fascinated by the turmoil a policemen must face in the law when faced with their own personal ideas of what constitutes justice. So Love and Punishment was born...
