the clan who killed her parents.
Joshua Ravenwood believes she is there to assassinate him for
the crimes of his people and the presence of the mind-killing pain in his head is
surely proof of her intention.

Interview

What do you enjoy most
about writing?
I love the freedom it offers. I can become anyone I want to be
within my characters. Writing also gives me the opportunity to vent some of my frustrations
on my characters especially the nastier ones. When my father died, I used that experience
within one of my Demon Witch books. I killed off two very important characters and
made my heroine go through the emotions as I did. It was a very cathartic experience.
If you could give the
younger version of yourself advice what would it be?
Don’t give up. Never ever give up. I wish I’d been around to
offer this advice because for many years I did give up and I regret it deeply but
I’m back now writing with passion.
What is your work ethic
when it comes to writing?
I have to write every single day or the voices in my head start
to take over. I know it sounds daft but writing helps to dilute the ideas. I don’t
always get to choose when I write although late night tends to work better for me.
Do things your family
or friends do ever end up in a book?
I have a wonderful friend who was having a bad time with her
brother and she asked if I could include him in a book. He became a newly made vampire
who came to a very sticky end. She loved it!
I was asked a few weeks ago by a family member if I used family
as characters. Of course, I said no.
What are some jobs you’ve
done before (or while) you were a writer?
I have been a Customer Services Advisor, an administrator for
a book club. I’ve run my own playgroup, summer playscheme and afterschool club.
I spent five years working in a school nursery and three miserable weeks in a hair
salon.
Which of your books would
you recommend to someone who doesn’t normally read your genre, and why?
I would recommend trying the Demon Witch series starring Luca,
a half -demon blooded Coven Witch. The books contain romance, passion and danger-
not necessarily in that order. I’m totally biased but I love every character in
this series – I have fifteen books written with number four about to be epublished.
The Dark of Demon
What kind of books do
you read when taking a break from your own writing?
I tend to read just about anything from historical novels to
paranormal romances. I’m not very fond of chick lit although I’ve been assured I’m
missing out. I love Stephen King and J R Ward. I really wish I’d thought of the
Black Dagger Brotherhood. What awesome heroes!
What was the proudest
moment of your life so far?
I have a few but the most recent was watching my eldest daughter
receive her degree from her university. I was the typical mother with tears streaming
down my face. She had chosen a difficult path in life it she was determined to get
her degree and, although it took longer than we’d all hoped, I was so proud to witness
her achieve her dream.
What is your favorite
holiday and why?
Every summer four of us travel around England. We love history and ancient
places and there’s so much to see here. The weather isn’t always reliable but we
make the most of it. We love to stay in castles and old coaching inns especially
if we’re on a ghost hunting trip.
What good book have you
read recently?
I’ve just re-read J R Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series
in anticipation of the release of Lover At Last.
Where were you at midnight,
on December 31st when the new century started?
That’s easy. I was with my husband at my best friend’s house.
There was just the four of us, listening to Big Ben chime and watching the fireworks
over the Thames on the TV. We always spend New
Year’s Eve together, it’s a standing tradition.
What do you like to do
when you’re bored?
I like to create. I knit, sew, crochet, embroider and take cool
photos. I don’t cook… please don’t ask me to cook – you’ll regret it.
If you were a color, what
color would you be?
Definitely a shade of purple.
Please underline which
statement is more like you:
“I am a vacation spa because I am laid back and relaxed.”
“I am a ten-countries in ten-days tour vacation, because
I do things as fast as possible.”

Please complete the sentences

I love pizza with other people so they can eat it. Pizza…yukkkk
I’m always ready for another story.
When I’m alone, I’m content.
You’d never be able to tell, but I talk to dead people.
If I had a halo it would be too
tight for comfort
.
If I could be invisible I’d go check out the Queen.
I’d love to see how she spends her day
.
I can never go into small places because I’m claustrophobic.
