Lots of people ask me questions about my writing and why I do it, these and other questions are answered below

 
When did you write your first book?
Oh lordy, lordy - I can remember it very clearly. I was 14 and a bit of an Anne Rice addict. I wrote something called Crimson Wars, a 30,000 word epic tale of vampires, love and human-vamp type battles - it took me ages to do because in those days all I had was a pen and paper and at the very end I was totally convinced of it's excellence. Now of course, I cringe.
 
Where can I buy your books?
I have been asked by some lovely, charming, wonderful, intelligent, extremely discerning people where they can buy my books. Well I am sad to say that as yet I am not published in this medium and they exist only in my computer, my head and in the numerous files dotted around my small house. Be assured as soon as I secure a publisher I'll be making sure everyone, everywhere in the entire world is aware of that fact!
 
What type of books do you write?
I tend to end up writing romance/horror type stories for young adults and historical romance for adults. Although truthfully I don't like to classify my books if I can get away with it as I like to mix in a bit of everything!
 
Who do you write for?
Primarily for myself but I'm dead chuffed when someone reads soemthing I have created and gives me some feedback.
 
Where do you get your ideas?
I pluck them out of the ether where they float around waiting for someone to bring them to life.
 
How can I comment on your work? 
I love feedback, all writers do as we tend to be rather insecure types. You can e-mail me or join my mailing list - in fact why not do both, just click on the Your Thoughts tab above.
