Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I write Australian Historical Romances, each filled with passion, deceit and murder. I currently have 8 books released.

I try to encompass much of my own families history into my books, as well as setting most of them in my home town in North Queensland, Australia.

I am happily married to my childhood sweetheart and soulmate and living in North Queensland.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest release, Heart of Stone, is slightly different from my other books. The idea for that book came more from the unspoken history of blackbirding in our area of Australia. For those that don’t know, blackbirding was the title given to the slave trade in Australia’s past, mostly dealing with the islanders called Kanakas that were forcibly brought into the country. The main female character in the book is in fact an Irish slave, another scandalous past of Australian history.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Plenty including humming, fidgetting clicking my fingernails – you get the drift.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Harper Lee. Amanda Quick. Arthur Conan Doyle. Agatha Christie.

What are you working on now?
I am finishing edits for Lust & Chastity, the first book of my new series Sins of the Virtuous. I am also trying to finish writing the rest of the books in the series.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My publisher is great and does a lot of promo for me. I also use blog sites and my own website.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don't give up and don't be afraid to do something different.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
That a bad first draft is better than a blank page.

What’s next for you as a writer?
The first book from my Sins of the Virtuous series will be released next month, so hopefully I can get the rest of the series out in quick concession.

What is your favorite book of all time?
To kill a mockingbird.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I come from a performing background with over 10 years acting experience. I have worked as a producer on various film projects before going on to set up my own production company. I am a trained editor and have also written and produced several short films scripts. Originally from England, after a few years of travelling the world I moved to Ireland where I currently live with my husband, 2 young daughters, 16 chickens, a pet rabbit and a cat named Tilly.

A Strange Affair: An Erotic Tale is my third book and I'm really proud of it. My first book was a paranormal romance novella called Red Right Hand, which I followed up with a contemporary romance novel called The Secret Side of US.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called A Strange Affair. I had wanted to write a workplace romance again for some time. Then one Friday evening after a glass or two of wine, I was looking through a magazine and came across a black and white photo of Chris Hemsworth in prestige. That photo became my inspiration and Aaron Strange was born.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write in the dark at night like a vampire. When I was at college I always studied for exams at night while listening to music and the habit seems to have stuck. I have layers. I have the story in my head so I write it down as quickly as possible. Then the conversations between the characters come to me. Then I write the emotions. Then I go over it all and try to pull all the layers together.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I read so many books a week it's hard for me to chose one book or author as everything I read influences me in some small way. I might read a witty line which reminds me of something else, like a film or painting or something one of my kids said and that may help me come up with a new character. It's all very random.

What are you working on now?
I'm currently working on two different books. I'm two chapters in on a paranormal romance filled with vampires and werewolves. I'm also two chapters in on another erotic romance that is somehow, also turning into a comedy which was unintentional. But I've been told it's very hot and funny.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I rely on Bloggers, Reviewers, adverts, and word of mouth. The writing community are amazing and always happy to help spread the word. I must admit Bloggers are great for me; they really helped get my work out there.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write a little bit every day. Even if it's only two lines. Write every day!

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.” -STEPHEN KING
He has been creeping me out with his books since I was a kid. That's a long time! I have to respect what the man says otherwise he may send a clown my way!

What are you reading now?
I've just finished a book which came to me for review and about to start Viking Thunder by Emanuelle De Maupssant

What’s next for you as a writer?
A Strange Affair is the first book in a trilogy so I have that to work on and as I mentioned before I'm currently working on two books. The Paranormal one is the first in a series and I already have that world and story mapped out. Four books are planned for that series so I will be pretty busy for a while.

What is your favorite book of all time?
I've read hundreds of books. I'm a reviewer for Escapologyreviews.com so I get through a lot of books but I will give you my current favourite book. Road Tripped by Nicole Archer. I was sent a copy of this book to review for the website. I remember reading it in bed and laughing out so loud my husband had to come into the room and see what was going on. I loved this book so much. Genuinely bloody hilarious.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I'm an author of Erotic Romance and have over 25 books traditionally published. Right now I'm working on launching my self-published books, including The Star of Eternity (July 2017) Inheritance of the Blood (October 2017) and Cyborg:Redux (December 2017)

About 50% of all my books are erotic Science Fiction but I've also written Paranormal books, including the Blood Secrets trilogy and the Cupid Series (though the publisher hasn't grouped them together)

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Star of Eternity – this book was 7 years in the writing mainly because after I finished Starburst I needed to work on something new.

The Star of Eternity finishes the story arc that began with Starline and is in true Galactic Fleet style featuring aliens, invaders, war… Being a Trekkie from way back (got the uniform & all!) it was quite a job to create a world that was fully formed like you'd see in the traditional stories of Science Fiction and I learned from Linnea Sinclair and Anne McCaffrey the importance of a robust world.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I'm a full time author – but having said that, the biggest thing I do is refuse to accept Writers Block. Over time, I've come to learn that if the words are there, they'll flow. If not, then I need to let them brew a little longer. On days where I'm not writing, I'll often read a book, play on Social Media or be out and about with my family.

I do however, like to meander around the house, depending on the weather. In summer I hole up in front of the air conditioner in the dining room. The rest of the time I'm in my office, with the 2 dogs and cat sacked out on their beds…

Sometimes I like to write in bed too… but that's usually in winter when my toes are cold!

Oh and you can usually tell when I'm writing a sexy scene, because my office door is often closed at that time!

For musical accompaniment, I'll stick to Gregorian Chants 🙂

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Linnea Sinclair's Dock 5 books
Anne McCaffrey – any of them!
JD Robb – In Death
Cynthia Eden
Alexander Bolitho

These books have all played their part in forming the writing style I've cobbled together. Having said that though, I'm a writing in evolution. Things are always subject to change.

What are you working on now?
Right now I'm writing the second title in the 21st Testing Protocol – Children of a Greater Evil, which follows on from Cyborg: Redux.

In a world in turmoil, where genetic engineering and cybernetic implantation therapy exist power and money make the decisions. But one decision, one man's evil threatens the very fabric of the democratic society and brings civilisation to the brink of a true world wide war.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Best method? I'm still working on that.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write. There's nothing to edit or polish if nothing is written! Don't leave it til tomorrow, sit down now and get the words in your head on the page.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Get a professional editor to work your book. Readers will thank you for it!

What are you reading now?
The Presence by Heather Graham

What’s next for you as a writer?
Once I finish the piece I'm working on, the question is do I go back and finish Song of the Sea or the 3rd 21st Testing Protocol book or finish the historical I started a couple of years ago… or something completely different. I'm a bit scatterbrained when it comes to writing in order! 😀

What is your favorite book of all time?
I really struggle to find one book because so many resonate with me…

It could be Naked in Death (JD Robb)
It could be Hope's Folly (Linnea Sinclair)

I honestly can't pick just one!
