INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR:
Tell me a bit about yourself…where you’re from and how you came to be a writer…
I’m in Melbourne, Australia, and worked as a physiotherapist for 13 years before finally putting pen to paper rather than just saying ‘I’m going to write a book one day.’ Once I started writing I couldn’t stop!
Tell me what genres you write and why?
I write fun, flirty, contemporary romances for adults and spooky, riveting, supernatural fiction for young adults. Plus I’m about to release my first New Adult novel, BEFORE, in early December!
I love flexing my creative muscle and the change in pace between paranormal YA and contemporary romance is refreshing.
What's your latest book about?
SCION OF THE SUN is a mix of paranormal, mystery, suspense, romance and action.
Here’s the blurb:
When she least expects it, sixteen-year-old Holly Burton’s unremarkable life is shaken to the core. A vision of the mother Holly never knew leaves her questioning everything she believes.
Eager for answers, Holly enrolls at a boarding school for highly gifted students in Wolfebane, New Hampshire. But Holly's complicated life worsens when she accidentally transports to a parallel existence where she's confronted by a dark and ancient evil.
With the help of Joss, a sexy alpha warrior sworn to protect her, and her new BFF, the equally swoon-worthy Quinn, Holly faces her fears and an unlikely adversary in a showdown that is worse than anything she could’ve possibly imagined …
What themes do you particularly like to use in your writing and why?
In my YA and NA stories, I like to write about strong heroines who aren’t afraid to confront the scary stuff!
In my contemporary romances, I love pitting a strong-willed woman against an equally tough guy, and watching the sparks fly.
In YA, NA and adult, I’m a sucker for snappy dialogue and enjoy pitting my characters against each other verbally.
When creating characters for your books, how do you go about it?
Often, a picture/expression of a person will spark an idea of a character for me. From there, I ask a lot of ‘what if’ questions to flesh out that character and make them real.
And they must have the perfect name before I can start writing.
What advice do you have for a beginning writer?
The only way to hone your craft is to write. And write. Then write some more. There are so many resources out there but it’s the actual physical act of writing that will develop your craft.
And read widely in the genre you’re targeting.
Is there anything else you’d like to mention? (i.e. where you get your inspiration?)
