INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
1) Links to website and list of books with purchase links:
2) How long have you been writing? What got you in to writing?
I have been writing since I was five! I haven’t stopped since. Fan fiction got me into publishing my writing.
3) What was your first published book? Looking back, is there anything you’d change about it?
Oracle was my first published Novel, with Silver. A paranormal with Greek myths entwined into it.
4) What or Who has influenced your writing?
My dad has a lot of influence on my writing. He was the one who introduced me to books like Narnia and LoTR and took me on our weekly library trips. He also encouraged my story writing, as does my mum now.
5) Where do you get your ideas?
Songs, news items, pictures of half naked men…
6) What hinders your writing? (distractions? noise?)
Interruptions when I am in the flow are the worst. I can handle most everything else with the judicious use of headphones.
7) What genre are you most comfortable with? What would you like to explore?
Romance is my absolute GoTo… I would like to explore more romance, and I have so many stories in my head I don't think I need to move outside the romance zone for a while.
8) Are you a by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of writer, or do you have to use an outline to put your collective thoughts into some semblance of common sense?
Definitely by the seat of my pant. Outlines make me lazy as it is almost like I have finished in my head before I have even started.
9) Which of your books is your favorite? Why?
Oracle. My first book and the one closest to my heart.
10) Do you incorporate some of yourself into your characters? Personality traits? Likes? Dislikes?
Probably unconsciously. I am not sure you can write anything without putting in some of your own personality. I love happy endings in RL so I guess that is how I write them in my books.
11) What do you think is the perfect hero/heroine? Why?
Strength of personality and inner resolve. All my characters have flaws and it isn’t the reversal of those flaws but understanding how they can be accepted.
12) What is your latest release? Please share the blurb and purchase info with us.
*One Night* and *The Soldiers Tale* are my latest releases. Both are available in all sorts of formats, including Kindle, from Silver Publishing.
Liam Wade is facing the biggest change in his life since marrying his best friend, Janelle, and adopting her daughter. Janelle has long since passed on, losing the battle to live a few days after her daughter is born, leaving Liam a father, in need of finding a mother for his daughter Emma. He's rich, successful, and Leigh is the perfect, approved, wife for him. Before he settles down to give his daughter the best family he can, he wants one week away to think. Just to make sure that he can leave half of himself hidden and marry without love, because Liam has one big problem in all of this -- he's gay.

With Jamie seemingly at the heart of it all, can Rob keep his young lover alive?
