FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Every now and again someone may ask about my writing process or my characters. Today I will answer some of these questions:



Which character you wrote were the most like you?
I'm a mix between Angie in my debut novel, Eye on the Ball, who is an artist, and Nicola, or Nicky, in Kind of Blue, due to be released on 9 April. Angie is sometimes scatterbrained, but she is an empathetic person. Nicola is the same. She's the person who will, when life gives her lemons, make tequila! I can relate to both. As Angie, I love to paint. I'm not saying I'm any good at it, but it is relaxing. Nicky is an organiser, and so am I.

Where and when do you normally write?
I write every day. I prefer working on my standalone computer in the loft, between my books and research material. If we are travelling I may use my laptop or tablet and if all else fails, I always have a notebook in my bag. You never know when you get inspiration. 

My best writing I do early morning, and can be any time from 03h00 in the morning until about 07h00. Then I work again in the afternoons.

Do you have set hours of writing or do you only put pen to paper when you feel creative?
My days differ. Some days I write about eight hours but other days, when editing, it may be less. I try to write every day, even if it is just a scene.

Which of your characters are your favourite:
Ooh, this is a difficult one. I'll always have a soft spot for Jakes, my MC in Eye on the Ball. Maybe because he was my first love. Adam, the MC in Kind of Blue and Nicky are also favourites, but I guess it is because I've recently visited with them. Then Ulrich in Playing by the Rules and... Oh, okay, I can't choose but if I have to name one, it will always be Jakes.
