when did you know you wanted to be a writer?
I didn’t really. I just sort of fell into it one day. I was leaving work to pick my daughter up and Brian just popped into my head while I was driving. He didn’t shut up the entire way home and that night I gave in and started his story.
who was the first person you told when you sold your first book?
Well my husband actually told me. As we live in Australia the acceptance e-mail for Unexpected Mate came through at about 2 am. My hubby was up early the next morning and checked our e-mails. Needless to say he woke me from a sound sleep to tell me the good news.
The First book I ever wrote or attempted to write was Unexpected Mate.
The first people I told were my parents. As I’d never shown any inclination towards writing previously they were a little shocked when I told them I was going to be published. I swear there was at least 30 seconds of stunned silence when I told them my book was M/M erotica. lol. They’re proud of me and even wanted a copy so they could read it. Not sure if I want to know if they ever do…
what made the you want to become a writer?
Ummm. Not sure really I was reading a lot at the time (still do) and I think I just wanted to know if I had what it takes to write a story of my own. I was astounded that Silver Publishing actually wanted to release my book.
whats your favourite genre to read?
It would have to be M/M even though it confuses the hell out of my Hubby.
who is your favourite author ?
Ah hell that’s a tough question. There are so many talented authors out there that I can’t just list one. Stormy Glenn, Joyee Flynn, JL Langly, Lynn Hagen, Bailey Bradford, Amber Kell & TA Chase to list a few of my favourites.
In the M/F genre there’s a couple of Aussie Authors who I love. Kylie Chan and Keri Arthur
did you have an mentor and if so who was it ? NO not really but as I said I love Stormy Glenn and Joyee Flynn’s works
how many books do u have published?
So far I have 2 works published with Sliver Publishing.
what do you have lined up for the near future ?
Protective Mate – Book 3 in my Holland brothers series is complete and set for release on the 3rd September. I am currently writing Forbidden Mate – Book 4 and it has a release set for 1st October. I’m also hoping to get a short Cowboy story finished in time for Christmas.
