Bio:
I'm an IT Consultant and Writer from Surrey,
England.
I am the Author of the Cursed Trilogy.
I started writing when I was fourteen; I always had a
problem with reading before I started Secondary School. It was when I was about
eleven or twelve that I started going to the library and I found the books
which interested me. Since then I’ve become a reader and a writer and my
English is better than ever. I love writing and hope it can be something I can
continue to do as my life goes on.
---------------------------Fun Facts----------------------------
1. When did you
first start writing?
I started writing when I was about fourteen. I started a
romance story in a collection of notebooks and my friend joined in with me for
a bit. Unfortunately a lot of that story was lost so I have been re-writing it
and updating it ever since.
2. Did you always want
to be a writer? If not what did you want to be?
No, I used to want to be a teacher!
3. What drew you to
writing young adult stories?
Well as I started when I was fourteen it was my age group
and still is just. I like writing about the way younger people see and feel
about relationships and situations as it’s a lot different to an adult.
4. Where does your
inspiration for these stories come from?
Good question! I’m not really sure, sometimes it’s just a
random idea or its adapted from a dream or an advert or something in my life.
5. What has your
experience been like publishing with Fast-Print.net?
They have been very good and very helpful. There have
been a few teething issues but mostly they have been very accommodating and I
would recommend them.
6. What was your
favourite chapter to write and why?
My favourite chapter would probably have to be Chapter 8
as I enjoyed writing it from different views. I won’t say any more than that J
7. Where is your favourite place to write?
My favourite place is my bedroom at my desk, which I just
recently set-up J
8. Do you have a
certain routine you have for writing? i.e. You listen to music, sit in a
certain chair?
My only routine is I sit at my desk and I have to listen
to music otherwise I become distracted by the TV programmes.
9. Do you use a
computer/laptop for your first draft or are you a pen and paper writer?
I used to use pen and paper as I knew I’d always have it
with me, however I hated typing it all up so I use my laptop now.
10. How do you come up with
characters names and place names in your books?
The characters are usually a mixture of names I like and
surnames of random people or first names of people I know with different
surnames.
11. Did you learn anything from
writing your book? What was it?
I learnt more about the Dartmoor area and the places
available to visit there. I also learnt that editing is very hard but very
rewarding.
12. How long does it usually take you
to write a book, from the original idea to finishing writing it?
Not that long a few months or so really. It’s the editing
that takes the longest for me.
13. Can you describe the feeling you
had when you saw your published book for the first time?
I was ecstatic! I was so very excited and I kept touching
it and showing it to everyone.
14. Who are some of your favourite
authors?
Lauren Kate, Karen Mahoney, JK Rowling, and many more.
15. Have you ever suffered from a
"writer's block"? What did you do to get past the "block"?
Yes I have, not sure there are many writers out there who
can say they haven’t! I tend to do a few things; mess around on Facebook for a
bit, text a few of my friends and family, make a nice hot chocolate and re-read
what I have written. If that still doesn’t work then I put a film on and go
back it after it. There has only been one occasion where I had to give up
trying for the day as it just wasn’t happening.
16. What piece of advice would you
give to a new writer?
Keep at it. Try editing your own work before giving it to
a professional as it makes you so much closer to your own work and teaches you
a skill.
17. Would you share a deep dark
secret about you with us?
A deep dark secret, gosh I’m not sure I can think of one!
Let’s see... I once tried writing a raunchy scene but I made myself feel
embarrassed so deleted it!
