Meet my Guest: AnnTony

Please welcome my Guest today, is AnnTony from Cape Town.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a self-employed girl, loving what I do and being creative! I’m the mom of two gorgeous kids, the wife of the man who loves his bike, almost as much as he loves me, and the sister of one of the most big-hearted persons I know and daughter of two loving, supportive and amazing parents. I started writing in 2016 as a hobby and completely fell in love with Lizzy and Tyler, and my hope is that you will too! I sent the book to a few of my close friends, and after their encouragement, I thought I’ll take on the challenge to self-publish my book and what a journey it’s been! I started with THE SHADOW OF TODAY and I simply couldn’t stop writing, so Lizzy & Tyler’s story continued onto book number #2: EMBRACE THE WORLD IN GREY. I’m happy to say it is completed, just need to get it to my editor and I’m currently busy writing BOOK NUMBER THREE! – (It’s a work in progress!)

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
THE SHADOW OF TODAY. I've always enjoyed reading and having a bit of a wild imagination

myself, I tried to put pen to paper and the ideas and stories just unravelled in front of me and I love every second of it! My dad also inspired me, being a writer himself.

Why did you choose to write in your particular field or genre?
After reading Fifty Shades of Grey for the umpteenth time I just decided to create my own Christian Grey and with that came Lizzy Stuart and of course... my Tyler!!

What kind of research did you do, and how long did you spend researching before beginning this book?
If someone had to go through my Google History, I think they would probably fall off their chair or I could get arrested!!... No, I'm just kidding but seriously, I did spend a lot of time on research. Phoning up people, even getting my doctor to answer some endless questions I had.

How do you select the names of your characters?
That just comes randomly to me.

How do you like to collect and organise your ideas?
My mobile phone is my life! With hundreds of notes on a very good app.

How long did it take you to write this book?
As I've mentioned, this is a series, so The Shadow Of Today took me a year and Embrace The World In Grey took me another year and I'm currently working on Book Number 3.

What's next for you as a writer?
To finish off The Shadow Trilogy. I've got about another two stories in my head!! I've already started with Rewrite The Stars because I just had to get these next two characters out of my head and onto paper. I'm very excited about their story too! It's something totally different.
