The Line, the Itch and the Rabbit Hole

1. What type of books do you write?

I typically write dark, twisted fiction with a comical edge. Whether it’s fantasy, horror or something in between. My two recent books, the ones that are currently available on Amazon, are nothing of the sort. “An Idiot in Love” is an out-and-out comedy; “The Line, the Itch and the Rabbit Hole” is a memoir. I needed a change, and I really like the results, but I will be returning to my usual genres now.

2. What is the latest book you have written?
“An Idiot in Love” is a fictional biography from the perspective of Kieran McCall, a persistently unlucky idiot who has failed to catch any breaks in life or love. It’s a rom-com from the male side.

3. When did you start writing?
I started writing nearly ten years ago, when I was 18. I had “dabbled” many years before that when I was 10 or 11, but it wasn’t until I was 18 when things became serious after my first short story was published in a local rag.
4. Why did you start to write?
I’d always loved to read and had a wicked imagination.
5. Who are your influences?
Philip K. Dick. Terry Pratchett and Stephen King. The fact that they write in three completely different genres probably has something to do with my own genre-indecisiveness.
6. What can we expect from you in the immediate future?
It’s only been a few weeks since the first book was published, so I’m not really sure what will happen from here. I guess I just cross my fingers and keep on promoting.
Further details will be updated on my blog

Black Friday Giveaway

A book of poetry written at each stage of my life. Childhood, University Student, Mother, Married, Separation and a Single Mother. Life is tough for everyone. I believe that everyone has struggled through one aspect of their life, others every aspect. I do have faith that one day, it will get better and the journey will end with a stronger, wiser woman at the end of it.

Life can get you down, but it is how you deal with these struggles that make you the person you are today. I find writing helps me deal with every aspect of my life. The pleasant experiences are written so that I can turn back and be grateful for the things I have achieved in life. The unpleasant experiences are written, so I can overcome them and deal with the problems that I am facing at the moment. I am publishing these personal parts of my life, to help others see that they are not alone. I am not an expert in any domain, I have not succeeded in any aspect of my life, but I try to learn from my mistakes and in turn, I have become wiser. Knowledge gained by experience, rather than through a book or education. Therefore, take this journey with me, through every aspect of my life, the highs, lows and the inbetweens.

Finding Lucas

1. What type of books do you write?
I write women's fiction. Finding Lucas, my debut novel, is chick lit or romantic comedy. My second novel, Everything But, due to be released in late winter/early spring, is quite a bit more serious, and though there are some hilarious moments and the writing is fast-paced, it isn't a comedy.


2. What is the latest book you have written?
Finding Lucas, available as an ebook on Amazon, will be coming out in paperback very soon. After five long years of living with Derek, her former bad boy turned mextrosexual boyfriend, Jamie Ross has had enough of his sneering disdain for her unusual family, second hand wardrobe and low-paying job as the associate producer of Chicago's sleaziest daytime talk show. When her new boss plans a segment on reuniting lost loves, Jamie remembers Lucas--the boy she'd loved and lost ten years earlier. Spurred on by her gang of quirky friends, Jamie goes on a hilarious, disastrous and desperate hunt to track Lucas down. But will finding Lucas give Jamie everything she's looking for?

3. Is it part of a series, if so which one?
Not part of a series.

4. When did you start writing?
I have honestly been writing since I was old enough to pick up a pen and even sent my first manuscript to a publisher when I was ten years old. It was rejected, but a lifelong passion to write was born!

5. Why did you start writing?
I have always loved writing, but I started doing it seriously after taking a very cool course on imagination during my Master's degree. My prof asked us to create a character, and I conjured up Wanda X, a leather loving fetishist. I had so much fun creating her that I decided to sit down and write a novel (not about Wanda X). I haven't stopped since.

6. Who are your influences?
I have so many. Ernest Hemingway has always been one of my favorite writers, but in my genre, I love Emily Giffin, Jennifer Weiner, Jane Fallon, Wendy Markham, and of course, Helen Fielding.

7. What can we expect from you in the near future? Book signing events, other details
The paperback version of Finding Lucas should be out within a month, and I will definitely do a giveaway and launch. I'm working hard to finish Everything But, and it's the story of Maddy Taylor, a woman who never wanted kids...until she does. But, her husband isn't quite on the same page. Maddy desperately tries to save her marriage and have a child, but trying to have everything might make her lose it all. Will Maddy always have everything but?

Also, I have a blog, please click on this link to see more details click on this link. Usually, I post writings´ of my life and whatever else is going on, I run seasonal series on different topics. I've had some amazing authors write guest posts on their self-publishing experiences, and I'm just finishing up a series called "Second Time Around" with authors writing about the process of penning their second novels.

Time After Time

1. What types of books do you write?
I don't really have a genre, but I do put the emphasis on language, imagery and character voice in whatever I write. I have written full length novels, short-stories and flash-fiction (1000 word stories or less). It's the material itself that really determines its length.

2. What is the latest book you have written?
It's called "Time After Time" and is an Urban Science-Fiction Romantic Dark Comedy that loosely takes its starting point from the "Terminator" movies. It looks at the paradoxes of travelling back in time to change the events which will therefore alter the future from which you travelled back from in the first place... But at its heart, it's a series of seductions scenarios, the same man, the same woman, the same opening chat-up line and a myriad of outcomes of how that seduction can end up...

3. Is it part of a series, if so which one?
No I never write series. Always on to the next fresh idea for me!

4. When did you start writing?
Like a lot of people I think I started writing bad poetry as a teenager, hoping I could join a band in my case. But I started writing stage plays at University because I was really desperate to do something creative amid all the dryness of academia and there were lots of free stage spaces and student actors so it was a really good place to learn on the job. I kept writing plays for 10 years until my twin boys came along and I stayed home accordingly to look after them. That's when I turned to writing novels.

5. Why did you start writing?
That's a really hard question. It just seems to be inside me, something I think I have a talent for. I certainly have a love of wielding words. I want to entertain and maybe provoke ideas and debate. All of these things are part of it, but I don't think they explain the whole picture.

6. Who are your influences?
I have lots of authors I admire, but I wouldn't say I write like any of them. I like William Burroughs, Franz Kafka, Don Dellilo, Jonathan Lethem, David Peace, Jeanette Winterson, Dubravka Ugresic, David Mitchell. I think I'm probably more influenced by musicians, but not in any direct literary way.

7. What can we expect from you in the near future?
Book signing events, other details I've recently signed a book deal with an American indie publisher called "Temporary Infinity" for a collection of my short stories, but as yet no publication date. I have another novel ready to publish next year which is an Urban Dystopia Police Procedural with paranormal elements. But the thing I would love to get off the ground is a 5 minute animated typography video of one of my flash fiction pieces which would have a scratch DJ accompaniment. So I'll be looking to raise a modest amount of money for that project.
