1) What do you like most about being an author?
Ooh that is hard to answer as there are so many things I enjoy. I think I most like getting feedback from readers, because I waited so long to have an audience for my writing by landing a publishing deal. It makes my day if I read a review where someone loved my work and says it cheered them up.
2) What is your favourite book and genre?
It has to be Pride and Prejudice and I just love romance. I am in awe of Jane Austen and how her book is still relevant centuries after her death. I saw the zombie movie version of this book last weekend and it was just brilliant. Imagine your books inspiring future generations like that? It’s inspiring.
3) Do have a cozy place where you like reading and writing the most?
I tuck myself away in the spare room. I have a tiny desk in there, a fan heater and the cat for company. I could move downstairs into a bigger room but I am a creature of habit.
4) Where did you get your inspiration for your new story "How to get hitched in 10 days"?
From a couple of my gay friends who are the loveliest men you could ever want to meet. I felt the need to write a story about a woman who really did need a best friend to help sort out her life. And I also wanted to address the issues that face gay men in our society nowadays. I am thrilled that so many reviewers seem to adore the character of Mikey as much as I do.
5) Mikey from "How to get hitched in 10 days" owns a classic 50's diner. If you had to pick, what would be your favourite diner treat?
Your questions are so hard! Ooh. Cheesecake. No, apple pie and ice-cream. But then warm brownies are just divine. Nope. It’s no good. I just cannot choose!
Thanks for having me!
