WHY DO YOU WRITE?

Why do you breathe? Because it's the only one true thing I have ever wanted to do. If I am not writing I think about writing, I even dream about writing.
 


WHERE DID YOU GET THE IDEA FOR YOUR BOOK?

I love ghost stories. Always have. Mainly though from the occasional sightings I have had or sightings of other people.
 


WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE STORY IN YOUR NEW BOOK – THE MOST FUN FOR YOU TO WRITE?

Oh, that's a tough one. I enjoyed writing the whole collection. I think Afraid was the most fun.
 


WHAT DO YOU THINK SETS YOUR BOOK APART?

It is ghost stories for those who don't like to be scared. Well too much ....



HOW MUCH, IF ANY OF THE STORIES WAS INSPIRED BY YOUR OWN LIFE EXPERIENCES?

My own life experiences always infiltrate my writing. Spindrift cottage was an actual experience, albeit fictionalised a little.
 

DID THE STORIES PROCEED AS YOU ORIGINALLY CONCEPTUALIZED IT, OR EVOLVE AS THE WORK PROGRESSED?

They evolve. They start off with a concept and sometimes they change course totally, or sometimes they stay within the concept boundaries, but shape it to fit themselves.


WHO DO YOU USE AS A SOUNDING BOARD FOR YOUR WRITING?

Book Junkies on Facebook!  A fabulous group of readers and writers.
 


IN WHAT GENRE WOULD YOU BE LEAST & MOST COMFORTABLE WRITING?

Soppy Romances. I have a romantic streak, but it’s just that a streak.
 

WHO ARE YOUR FAVOURITE AUTHORS ?

Terry Pratchett! He is the god of writing as far as I am concerned.
His use of words and descriptions are second to none.

Other than that I like J R R Tolkien, Dick Francis, Kate Ellis, Ellis Peters. Of course I now can add some fantastic indie authors into the mix too.
Michael E McNally and his musket and magic Sable City series.

WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR PROSPECTIVE READERS TO KNOW ABOUT YOU OR THIS BOOK?

This is only the start. I have a novel in progress which is Paranormal again, but with a few twists. The Fools Journey is hopefully due out in October / November


A collection of short, paranormal stories, full of strange happenings and ghostly apparitions.
